Faith (and Tim) take Vegas (updated January 23, 2013)

The term 'Soul2Soul' isn't just a moniker for Faith Hill's string of successful tours with husband Tim McGraw, nor their current run at The Venetian in Las Vegas. Instead, it defines the country songstress to her core. She is a wife and mother before she is an artist, and it's been that way since McGraw put a ring on her finger in 1996.

Some will credit Hill's success to her progression toward a more pop-oriented sound in the late 1990's, when hits like "This Kiss" and "Breathe" would carry her into the new millennium on the wave of a different sound. She landed on VH1's "Behind the Music and "Divas 2000," along with Lifetime cable's "Intimate Portraits" series. By the time she recorded the album, "Cry" in 2002, some saw the pop transformation as complete, with the project containing few nods to her down home country roots.

Some say the release of her "Fireflies" album marked Hill's 'return to country' in 2005. The song "Mississippi Girl," became her highest-debuting single, and a sizzling duet with McGraw on "Like We Never Loved at All" carried them into a tour that would gross more than $90 million. Officially, the "Soul2Soul II" tour would be named "Major Tour of the Year" by Pollstar, beating out Madonna and the Rolling Stones.

Since then, Hill has been involved in various projects. She released an acclaimed Christmas album, has been the signature voice of NBC's Sunday Night Football theme song, and appeared on both McGraw's albums and also on George Strait's "Here for a Good Time." But it's been a struggle for Hill to record and release new music of her own. She's been in and out of the studio since January 2011 to get another album out. Rumored to be titled "Illusion," it is currently set for release sometime in 2013.

Like Shania Twain, a beautiful blonde decided to enter into the music industry with a love for country music, and her name was Faith Hill. She was born September 21, 1967, as Audrey Faith Perry, in Jackson, Missouri, and despite the small town sensibility, she dreamed big. Warner Brothers took her dream and made it a reality in the beginning of the 1990s.

Her debut album Take Me as I am appeared in 1993 and received critical acclaim with the lead single 'Wild One' hitting the airwaves in a big way. To prove that she had even more tremendous talent under her belt, her second single off the album was actually a cover of the classic Janis Joplin hit 'Piece of My Heart'. That single also hit number one on the country charts for Faith Hill. She furthermore scored big with a second album entitled It Matters to Me in the summer of 1995, and by then she was really rocking it in the country music industry as she began touring with Tim McGraw. To this day, Faith Hill continues to be a trademark and cornerstone for the contemporary country music arena, pulling in more and more hits and always looking good while doing it.
