        1984 after a short stint with the United States Football
        League. Not only did his debut self-titled release spawn three
        Top 10 singles and go platinum, it also earned Keith the award
        of Top New Country Artist by Billboard Magazine. His debut
        single, Should've Been a Cowboy, also brought Keith mainstream
        success. Since Keith's breakthrough, he went on to release
        five more albums including a Christmas track. Fans will be
        able to purchase Keith's latest CD, Pull My Chain, prior to
        the start of the autograph session.
