The 2-track CD single of "Amazed" by Lonestar appears to have the Captain Mix as the lead track. This is a different version than the what is on the Lonely Grill LP. Currently, there are no notations for this song in the database.

Aaron, off the top of my head I think I recall us getting in two different promo CD singles for "Amazed" back in '99, and I will both pull them from inventory/post all the details for you in the next day or two.

Promo single we got had 5 or 6 different mixes of the song on it. If Jim doesn't beat me to it, I'll take a look at it tonight.

Turns out I could locate only one promo CD single for this song, a 4-track disc, and here are all the particulars:
Lonestar-"Amazed" (Four Mainstream Mixes) (BDJ65916-2) 1-Mainstream Mix (V.U.) (listed 4:09; actual 4:07) 2-Mainstream Mix 2 (listed 4:09; actual 4:07) 3-Captain Mix (listed 4:29; actual 4:26) 4-AC Mix (listed 4:02; actual 4:00) FYI, our station played track 2 as a current. |

Thanks for the info, Jim! My Promo Only disc has the song labeled as the Captain Mix. I'll check the run time when I have a minute to see if it matches up with your promo CD.

The 7-inch single is the original "country" version from the Lonely Grill CD. The CD single (which, as Aaron states, has the "Captain's Mix" as Track One and the "A/C Mix" as Track Two) and the cassette single (which I don't have) were not released until the song became a pop hit several months after it had been a country hit.
I've always thought that the songwriters borrowed part of the melody from Bryan Adams' "Please Forgive Me". |

My RPM Top HitsCD lists this track as a 'Pop Edit', yet timing wise, it's probably the A/C mix.

My Promo Only CD runs 4:26. What is considered the "hit" version? I was PD at my college station's alternative format when the song was a hit, so I don't remember what was played in my local market.

I've been meaning to post information regarding Lonestar's "Amazed" for quite some time, so I'm glad to see a message thread has finally been formed on the subject. As Paul C. correctly pointed out, the Lonely Grill CD consists of the album version which was the one played on country radio stations and went on to achieve enormous success on the country charts. Months after the song peaked at the country circuit, the BNA record label decided to remix and market the song for pop and adult contemporary stations (and I'm glad they did because I remember thinking at the time that this song had huge potential to be a major crossover hit and a wedding day classic!)
I have the 2-track commercial CD single and it contains the following tracks and actual run times (there are no printed times listed): 1) Amazed (Captain Mix) - 4:26 2) Amazed (A/C Mix) - 4:00 I consider the Captain Mix to be the official single version, though both mixes got a ton of airplay in my area. By the way, I believe the album version of "Amazed" appears on most of the database CD entries, though there's a chance the Totally Hits 2 disc on Warner/Elektra/Atlantic/Arista 62529 and the Dreams CD on Time-Life 24677-D may consist of one of the pop/AC mixes given that those two titles are pop artist compilations. At any rate, these CDs should really be reviewed individually to determine which version is on them. Edited by Todd Ireland |
