Mountains (Lonestar album)
Mountains is the eighth studio album released by American country music group Lonestar. Its final album for BNA Records, it produced two singles on the Hot Country Songs charts: "Mountains" at #10 and "Nothing to Prove" at #51. After the latter single peaked, the band was dropped from BNA, due to declining sales. This was also the last studio album of their career to feature Richie McDonald on lead vocals until he rejoined in 2011.
