Blake & Brian

Blake & Brian were an American country music duo composed of singer-songwriters Brian Gowan and Blake Weldon, who were paired up by record producer Chuck Howard in 1995. Their self-titled debut album was issued in 1997 on the Curb Records label. The album's lead-off single, "Another Perfect Day", peaked at #45 on the Billboard country charts. Country Standard Time gave the album a mixed review, stating that although Gowan and Weldon were "indistinguishable vocally and equally malleable", and although some of the songs were derivative of the Eagles, the more up-tempo tracks were "punch[ed] up... with timeless Texas kick".

After releasing this album, they charted two more singles ("The Wish" and "Amnesia"), neither of which was included on an album. By 1999, Blake & Brian had parted ways. Gowan released a solo album entitled Warm Spanish Wine in 2000, and co-wrote three songs on Rodney Atkins' 2003 debut album Honesty.
