March 13, 2007 — Jack Ingram is gearing up for the March 27 release of his first studio album in 5 years, This Is It. Fourteen years after the launch of his self-released debut album, Jack is finding it both amusing and refreshing to be called a new artist, allaboutcountry.com reports.
"I have heard story after story about the 10-year overnight success story," he says. "I am one artist in a long line of artists that has finally achieved some national exposure after 10-plus years of 'paying dues' and I'm glad that after all this time on the road I am a 'new face.' It beats the hell out of having to go get plastic surgery!" he jokes.
Although Jack's success was a long time coming, it looks like the good times will be continuing for him. He recently won an Esky Music Award for Best Country Artist from Esquire magazine, and he is also featured in the current issue of Entertainment Weekly.
