Billy Currington, the American country music artist, has never appeared on American Idol.

Billy Currington was born on November 19, 1973, in Savannah, Georgia. He is a country music singer and songwriter who signed with Mercury Nashville Records in 2003.

Currington's first single, "Walk a Little Straighter," was released in 2003 and drew heavily on his experiences with an alcoholic father; the chorus of the song was actually written when he was only 12 years old.

His debut album, Billy Currington, was released on Mercury Records in 2003. A second album, Doin' Somethin' Right, followed in 2005 on Mercury Nashville. Three years later, Currington delivered the eclectic, R&B-inflected Little Bit of Everything, also on Mercury Nashville. In 2010, Currington returned with his tenth studio effort, Enjoy Yourself, featuring the Troy Jones co-written single "Pretty Good at Drinkin' Beer." That song reached number one, as did "Let Me Down Easy." "Love Done Gone" and "Like My Dog" also reached the country Top 40.
