Second generation country stars
By Phyllis Stark Special to MSN MusicFollowing in the footsteps of their famous parents, there's a new crop of
young country artists attempting to make their marks in the music business. But
young acts like Krystal Keith (Toby's daughter), Thomas Rhett (son of '90s star
turned top songwriter Rhett Akins) and Lukas Nelson (Willie's kid) are just the
latest batch of star progeny, following in the footsteps of such country hit
makers as Rosanne Cash, Hank Williams Jr., Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis and, more
recently, Shooter Jennings and Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott. Check out our
gallery of past, present and future second generation stars.
