Craig Dillingham

Craig Dillingham has played a role in the development of west Texas' country music for nearly four decades. Only eight years old when he began performing in a family group, the Dillingham Sisters, he remained with the group throughout the 1960s and early '70s, performing regularly in the west Texas area. Striking out on his own in 1972, Dillingham spent three years touring as opening act for country-pop singer Ray Price. He became a regular cast member of Louisiana Hayride in 1976. Recording for MGM's Curb subsidiary in the 1980s, Dillingham placed five songs on Billboard's country music charts. His most successful tune, "Have You Ever Loved Your Woman Today" by Willie Nelson and Philip Norris, peaked at number 32. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide
