NASHVILLE, TN – (January 28, 2013) – Fresh off the 20th anniversary celebration of his record-breaking debut album, Some Gave All, multi-platinum recording artist Billy Ray Cyrus is keepin’ it country with the release of his new song, “Hillbilly Heart,” to country radio today, Monday (1/28).
The singer, songwriter and actor will be making a special appearance
during Nashville’s Country Radio Seminar and visiting radio in support
of the new single.
Written by Cyrus, “Hillbilly Heart,”
is a smoldering, swaggering anthem that highlights the Flatwoods, KY,
native’s country roots.
“Let’s get this party started!”
says Cyrus. “I’m so excited about ‘Hillbilly Heart.’ I wrote this song
as a tip of the hat to my pure love of country music … past, present
and future. It’s a blend of my early musical roots; Outlaw Country
(Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Jr.) mixed with my Southern rock heroes
(Lynyrd Skynyrd and Charlie Daniels), all fusing together for a
feel-good anthem that I can’t wait to share with radio and fans!”
“Hillbilly Heart” is from Cyrus’ thirteenth studio album titled Change My Mind, which Country Weekly
cites as “his best album in years.” Produced by the award-winning
Brandon Friesen, the album was released via Blue Cadillac Music and is
available now.
Currently, Cyrus is putting the
finishing touches on his memoir aptly tiled HILLBILLY HEART that will be
releasing this April and is planning for a worldwide tour later this
year.
Billy Ray Cyrus struck it big in June 1992 with his debut album, the eventual 9x-platinum-selling No. 1 Some Gave All, fueled by the best-selling single “Achy Breaky Heart,” which spent five weeks atop the Billboard Country chart. Some Gave All (which held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard
Top 200 chart for 17 weeks in a row and became the best-selling debut
album of all time by a male solo artist) launched Cyrus’ colorful
20-year career in the spotlight — during which he has sold millions of
albums worldwide, charted nearly 30 singles (including three No. 1
country hits), and racked up multiple film and television credits.
