About the Artist

It's ironic that Chris Sparks had a dream of being a recording artist when he was four but reached his dream by accident more than 20 years later. A guitar player since he was fifteen, Chris never stepped up to the microphone because the spotlight was always on his talent as a guitarist. Until one day when a friend handed off a recording session he didn't want. Chris recorded 'scratch' vocals for nine songs. Several major radio stations got word of the demo and requested a CD. Chris returned to Nashville to record four more songs including 'Rub It In'. After the CD came out, Chris' reputation rocketed locally with interest spreading nationally. Chris accepted a few major concert requests and then decided to stop. "Everything happened so fast, I knew my level of talent live was not ready for the large concert requests we were getting." Three years later, Chris is emerging with more than 25 new songs ready to record and an experienced team of music professionals to promote his career. His voice and stage presence are stronger than ever. With a major CD slated for 2002, Chris plans to gear up promotion for his two 1998 releases.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hot New Version of 'Rub It In'!, November 8, 2001

By	Carolina Cowgirl (The Carolinas) - See all my reviews

If you liked the original by Billy 'Crash' Craddock, you'll love this updated version. I've seen both of them perform this. Billy can definitely move it at his age. But take my word for it girls, seeing Chris perform this song is an experience you must have! I've never seen a country singer move like Chris. It's more like Tom Jones in tight Wranglers! His deep voice is just as sexy as his looks too. That's all I'll say about that! :)

At least take the time to get a copy of the single. Chris' version was so good, it has encouraged other signed artists to cut the song too. But, none of them touch Chris' version. He kept it similar to the original; but, changed it just enough to make it his. His sinister little laugh at the end is worth it in itself!

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT! Deep sexy voice! Whoo hoo, October 23, 2002

By	"txcowgirl5" (somewhere, PRCA Circuit) - See all my reviews

I love this song! It's hot. Chris' voice is even sexier on this one. I wonder what it's like in concert. Judging from the way he wears his Wranglers, I bet it's really hot. Chris talks a bit in this one. So, you get to hear what he sounds like. He's got a deep sexy voice. I love the little wicked laugh at the end too.
