Bob Guiney, star of ABC's The Bachelor 4, isn't going to need to get singing lessons after all, no matter what TV Guide may think.

Interestingly, 3 Sides, although credited just to Bob, also features his former band Fat Amy -- and Wind-Up almost signed Fat Amy back in 1998, when the Detroit-based band made a last-ditch tour of record industry showcases, following two independent releases by the group (in 1995 and 1997). Fat Amy broke up shortly thereafter, while Wind-Up (which only had one artist, Creed, at the time) went on to bigger and better things, as discussed in this Newsweek article.
Bob, of course, became a mortgage broker and ended up on The Bachelorette. Even though he didn't win Trista Rehn's heart, his popularity from the show gave him a chance to record a third album, 3 Sides, which he once again had to release independently.
Says Bob about his Wind-Up signing, “Music has always been my first love. Wind-Up was always a label I felt comfortable with in more ways than one. They’re a family. And they’re not interested in ANYTHING but the music.” Wind-Up president Lerner agrees, “Within Wind-Up, we never forgot the presence and passion Bob had for his music, and we know he has the talent to establish himself as a career music artist.” Looks like, just as Bob had a second chance to find love on The Bachelor 4, he will also have a second chance for musical success. Maybe life really does begin at 30.
