Tom Cochrane first caught the public's attention in the '80s when he was the lead singer of the popular Canadian rock group Red Rider. The band recorded several well-received albums. In 1987, the group claimed a Juno Award for Group of the Year. In the '90s, Cochrane went solo. In 1991, Cochrane released the superb album, Mad Mad World. Its success carried over from his homeland into the United States. In 1993, he switched to the EMI label for his next album, Ashes to Diamonds: A Collection. Through the '90s, he completed other full-length offerings, such as Ragged Ass Road, Songs of a Circling Spirit, and X-Ray Sierra. More recently, in 2015, he released Take It Home. Cochrane continues to tour and impress audiences with his wonderful music.
