Country Music: Richie McDonald's Six Foot Teddybear Hit

Country music singer Richie McDonald has a huge hit with his new single "Six Foot Teddybear."

The former Lonestar frontman hits all the right notes on "Six Foot Teddybear." It's a fun tune, reminiscent of the Lonestar hit "Mr. Mom." No surprise it's written by the same writer, Ron Harbin.

Click here to hear "Six Foot Teddybear" on Richie's My Space page.

Richie said this on his website: "Now, with the release of 'Six-Foot Teddybear,' he launches his much-anticipated solo career and demonstrates that he is just now hitting stride.

“We had a great run and made a lot of wonderful memories,” he says, “but I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing now. This feels right in my heart.”

The single, an upbeat look at the way domestic life can soften the most seemingly hardened man, displays both McDonald's singing and writing talents and his long-standing ability to bring together family love and great music."

Richie's solo fan club is free. Sign up now for the latest news, interact with other RM fans, have opportunities for meet & greets (coming soon), exclusive contests and more.
