Like many of today's top country artists, John Berry grew up at a time when popular music embraced a wide array of styles. In the same way that Bob Wills incorporated the jazz of his day into country to produce Western Swing, and Waylon Jennings learned musical tricks from rock-and-roller Buddy Holly that came out in his "outlaw" country, John Berry adapted bits and pieces from his various musical predecessors into his own country singing.

John Berry brought a "seen-it-all" industry audience to its feet at 1995's Country Music Awards Show, when he delivered a stirring acoustic rendition of "If I Had Any Pride Left At All."

"It would be difficult to find an artist more passionate about their music, or more devoted to bring that music to an audience.
