THESE CARDS DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENVELOPES THEY CAME IN, THOSE WERE THROWN AWAY AT THE TIME, SOME HAVE SCOTCH TAPE ON THE BACK THAT HAS BEEN FLATTENED FLUSH WITH THE CARD, THESE CARDS WERE ORGINALLY TAPED THE THE STUDIO DOORS FOR THE DISC JOCKEYS TO ENJOY, BUT I SAVED THEM AFTERWARDS. THEY WILL MAIL OUT WITH CARDBOARD BACKING AND A PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SLEEVE INSIDE A PADDED MAILER. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING. THE YEAR OF THE CARDS WOULD BE BETWEEN 1995-2008, THEY ARE NOT DATED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.I DO COMBINE SHIPPING.THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Christian country music
band. The band was founded in 1982 as an attraction for the
Opryland USA
theme park in
Nashville, Tennessee
, and was originally known as the Grizzly River Boys, then the Tennessee River Boys. It was founded by Matt Davenport, Danny Gregg, and
Ty Herndon
, the last of whom became a solo artist in the mid-1990s. After undergoing several membership changes in its initial years, the band has consisted of the same six members since 1989: Marty Roe (
lead vocals
,
rhythm guitar

), and Dana Williams (

After assuming the name Diamond Rio, the band was signed to
Arista Nashville
and debuted in 1991 with the single "
Meet in the Middle
", which made them the first band ever to send a debut single to No. 1 on the
Billboard
Hot Country Songs
charts. The band charted 32 more singles between then and 2006, including four more that reached No. 1: "
How Your Love Makes Me Feel

platinum certification in the United States. In addition, Diamond Rio has received four Group of the Year awards from the
Country Music Association
, two Top Vocal Group awards from the
Academy of Country Music
, and one
Grammy Award
out of thirteen nominations. The band is known for its vocal harmonies, varied instrumentation, and near-exclusive use of only its own membership on recordings instead of
session musicians
. Their sound was originally defined by mainstream country,
bluegrass
, and
rock
influences, but later albums drew more influence from Christian country music and
country pop
.
