Few artists have had a more impressive resumé without becoming a breakout star than Cidny Bullens, and more than a few rock & roll icons have recognized his talent. Bullens sang backup for Elton John, Rod Stewart, and Bob Dylan, penned songs for the Chicks, Radney Foster, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and appeared on three tracks of the soundtrack to the smash movie Grease. As a solo artist, Bullens bridged the gap between radio-friendly pop and rowdy rock on 1978's Desire Wire, and pumped up his rock moves and electric guitar work on 1979's Steal the Night. He showed off a more personal and introspective side, with a bluesy accent, on later solo works like 1999's Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth (which included guest spots from Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, and Rodney Crowell) and 2005's Dream #29, and stepped forward to boldly reinvent himself on 2023's Little Pieces.
