. His review praised "I'd Be Better Off" in particular, calling the song a "towering expression of self-pity that most singers could spend a career trying to top," also saying that Stone "came close" to matching that song's quality in the album's ballads.
1991-1992: ''I Thought It Was You'', ''From the Heart'', and ''The First Christmas''
''
I Thought It Was You'', his second album, was released in August 1991. Also certified platinum, it produced three more chart singles: the No. 4
title track, followed by the number 1 "

"A Jukebox with a Country Song" spent two weeks at number 1, thus becoming his only multi-week number 1 single.

, he canceled an appearance at the Academy of Country Music telecast. He then underwent
quadruple bypass surgery at Centennial Medical Center to alleviate four severe arterial blockages near his heart which had initially gone undiscovered by doctors.
Following the surgery, Stone changed his diet and began exercising,
in addition to touring in support of his third album, ''
From the Heart'', released that August.
The album's title was seen by many music writers, including Irwin Stambler and Grelun Landon of ''Country Music: The Encyclopedia'', as ironic in the wake of Stone's heart surgery.
With a gold certification for shipments of 500,000 copies,
''From the Heart'' produced two more number 1 singles in "
Too Busy Being in Love" and "
Why Didn't I Think of That".
The other two singles were "
Warning Labels" and "
Made for Lovin' You", at No. 4 and No. 6 respectively.
The latter had previously been recorded by both
Dan Seals and
Clinton Gregory. Mansfield thought that ''From the Heart'' was more consistent than Stone's previous two albums, saying that his "voice is at its pain-wracked best" on "Warning Labels" and that "The heart references take on a special meaning given the open-heart surgery that preceded this album". Nash criticized the album as "sappy, lightweight tales of infatuation and starry-eyed courtship". One month after ''From the Heart'', Stone released a Christmas album titled ''
The First Christmas''. Although this album produced no singles, "Sailing Home for Christmas" was made into a

, except on the track "Dream High", which Stroud produced with
Tom Bahler and
Bruce Swedien. It also included different session musicians than his previous albums, such as guitarist
Dann Huff and backing vocalist
Curtis Wright.
Its lead-off single was "
I Never Knew Love", which spent two weeks at No. 2 on the country singles charts and accounted for his only entry on the
''Billboard'' Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 81.
The album's next two singles were the No. 4 "
Addicted to a Dollar" and the
title track, which Stone wrote with
Gary Burr,
at No. 6. Tom Roland of ''New Country'' magazine criticized the album for "continu
ngto mine the drippy side of Stone" through "manipulative" ballads, but cited "Addicted to a Dollar" and "Love, You Took Me by Surprise" as being "tougher" than Stone's previous works.
Starting in June 1994, Stone discovered that he was having breathing problems which were affecting his singing.
He consulted throat doctors at

's medical center, who failed to find any problems in his throat, while a second consultation revealed a lump in his left nostril. Upon its discovery, Stone feared that it might be cancer, and that it would put an end to his career. As a result, Stone quit smoking, although the lump was later discovered not to be cancerous and was successfully removed.
While Stone was undergoing treatment, his ''Greatest Hits, Vol. 1'' compilation was released in late 1994. Also receiving a gold certification,
the album comprised nine of his previous hits and the new song "
Little Houses", which debuted on the charts in October 1994 and peaked at No. 7 in early 1995.
After its release, Stone made his acting debut in the 1995 film ''
Gordy'', in which he starred as Luke McAllister, a struggling musician. The movie's soundtrack featured four songs from ''More Love'': "More Love", "That's a Lie", "Wishbone", and "Dream High",
as well as two other songs that Stone performed: "The Heart I Broke" and "I Could Always Count on You".

, rumors circulated that Stone had been on one of the hijacked planes; a spokeswoman for the singer confirmed that he was at home with his family that day.
Stone signed to
Audium Entertainment in 2002 and recorded ''
The Long Way''.
This album included seven new songs and acoustic re-recordings of "More Love", "Born in the Dark", and "I'd Be Better Off". One of the original songs on it was "POW 369", which was later recorded by
Darryl Worley. Stewart Mason thought that it was "not nearly as suffocatingly slick" as Stone's previous albums, but questioned its commercial success. His next album did not come out until 2005, when he signed to the independent label
Lofton Creek Records, recording the album ''
In a Different Light''. The album included a cover of "
Georgia on My Mind
"Georgia on My Mind" is a 1930 song written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell, and first recorded that same year by Carmichael at the RCA Studios New York#24th St, RCA Victor Studios at 155 East 24th Street in New York City. The song has ...

A second album for Lofton Creek, ''
My Turn'', followed in 2007. It was led off by the single "Nice Problem".
William Ruhlmann praised this album for having "a timeless country feel", also saying that "Stone sings with as much fervor and sincerity as ever."
Ken Tucker of ''Billboard'' wrote that "He sounds as good as ever and his music is still relevant".
In 2013, Stone toured with
Bryan White and
Shenandoah as part of the "Reliving the 90s Tour". He also returned to acting, with roles in the films ''When the Storm God Rides'' and ''The Story of Bonnie and Clyde''.
Personal life
Stone married his second wife, Carie Cohen, in 1982.
The couple separated in July 1994, and Cohen filed for divorce two months later, accusing Stone of alcohol abuse and infidelity. He married Beth Snyder in December 1996 after being engaged to her for a year. As of 2005, he had one daughter with Beth, and four children from his previous marriages.
Stone split from Snyder in late 2006 and returned to his Georgia home.
On March 29, 2015, Stone married fiddler Jade Jack in Greenville, Texas, and both have a daughter together, born April 14, 2016.

s. In ''Country Music: A Biographical Dictionary'', Richard Carlin describes him as "a solid country crooner whose style is reminiscent of
Merle Haggard."
Steve Huey of Allmusic wrote that Stone "made his name as a lonesome baritone balladeer, though he's also adept at hard uptempo country."
Zell Miller, author of ''They Heard Georgia Singing'', wrote that Stone has "established himself as a mellow country crooner who is known as 'Mr. Sensitive'" and "the

of country music because of his unique flair for communicating the fragility of a broken heart with his delicate baritone voice and laid-back style." Kurt Wolff of ''Country Music: The Rough Guide'' described Stone's musical style less favorably. He wrote that Stone seemed "schizophrenic. Half his reputation was established with self-deprecating downers like 'I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)', but then he'd just as easily turn around with a schmaltzy love song like 'Too Busy Being in Love'." He compared "I'd Be Better Off" and "Warning Labels" favorably to Haggard as well, and thought that the change of producers on ''More Love'' gave him a "much beefier sound".
Writing for ''New Country'' magazine, Jim Ridley thought that outside "I'd Be Better Off", Stone "has floundered in search of a worthy follow-up...recording albums of syrupy dreck in an attempt to carve a niche as a balladeer."
Ridley also thought that ''Faith in Me, Faith in You'' strengthened Stone's musical image by including more up-tempo tracks than its predecessors.
