In
2009, Dean took a break from the recording studio, spending his time
developing Billy Dean Music Group (BDMG – his very own publishing and
production company) as well as continuing to tour regularly, keeping a
connection with fans, both old and new. This hiatus from the studio gave
Dean the time to pen many of the songs included on the new album. Dean
co-wrote seven of the ten songs included on A Man Of Good Fortune.
