If you want to become famous and make lots of money, then you should take singing lessons. Some of the richest and most famous people in the world are singers. They have millions of fans and followers on social media. Regardless of the genre of music you pursue, you can be certain that a music career will be lucrative if your music appeals to the masses. A genre that has proven to be popular amongst music fans in America is country music. Singers such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton entertained fans in the 80s and 90s while Carrie Underwood and Tim McGraw have catered to millennials.
Regardless of the fame that some country singers garner, most do not forget their roots. They live on ranches, wear cowboy hats and drive pickups. The singers incorporate their lifestyle in music videos. One element that most singers include is a pickup truck. Most country singers love pickup trucks and feel that their music video would be incomplete if they didn't feature a pickup truck. Besides featuring a pickup in their videos, most country singers own the vehicle. They parade around their ranches in their pickups and tour with their vehicles. We wanted to find out which country stars drive stunning pickup trucks and which are in possession of a rust bucket, so we peeked inside their garages.
24 Rust Bucket: Chase Rice
Brian Kelley is not the only star to emerge from Ormond Beach, Florida, as Rice first gained prominence in 2010 when he was a contestant on Survivor: Nicaragua. Rice was responsible for co-writing Cruising, the Florida Georgia Line single, and released his first single in 2013. His album, Ignite the Night, debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums.
Rice prefers the older generation pickups. He owns a 1985 Chevrolet Silverado.
The car is in great condition, but Rice will need to maintain it to prevent it from rusting.
23 Rust Bucket: Dierks Bentley
Bentley's first name is Frederick, but he prefers if you call him Dierks. He released his debut album in 2003. The debut and the follow-up album are certified platinum in the United States. The third album, Long Trip Alone, is certified gold. Bentley followed up the third album with a greatest hits package. He has had a successful career, as twenty-five of his singles appeared on country music charts, of which sixteen reached number one.
Bentley owns a Chevrolet pickup which he refers to as the Big White.
If he doesn't maintain the vehicle, Bentley should not be surprised if it becomes a rust bucket.
22 Rust Bucket: Jason Aldean
Originating from Nashville, Tennessee, Aldean signed to Broken Bow Record in 2005. He released eight albums under the label and twenty-four singles. In 2010, Aldean released the album My Kinda Party, certified quadruple-platinum. One of the vehicles that Aldean owns is a 1976 red Ford Bronco, a gift from his friend, Luke Bryan.
