Notes: Audio Mixer: Derek Bason. Audio Remasterer: Hank Williams. Billed as one of Billy Ray Cyrus's most personal albums, BACK TO TENNESSEE finds the achey-breaky star of screen and country music stage mining a somewhat retro vein. "Real Gone" is straight-up 1970's-style rock, powered by a big guitar riff right out of the Foghat songbook, while "Back to Tennessee"'s soaring backing vocals and catchy melodies recall classic soft rock. On "Somebody Said a Prayer" Cyrus's weathered vocals are a good match for the song's spiritually uplifting message. Throughout, Billy Ray delivers a unique blend of old and new, forging a country style that is steeped in the purest pop, yet retains an earthy edge.

Billboard (p.28) - "[A] solid testament to Cyrus' staying power....Highlights include 'Somebody Said a Prayer,' a powerful statement about belief in a higher power, and 'Love Is the Lesson'..."

Despite having several hits on both the pop and country charts, releasing a popular gospel album, and maintaining a healthy career as an actor in films and on TV, Billy Ray Cyrus will always be best known for his 1992 country-pop smash, "Achy Breaky Heart." The song and its accompanying line dance swept across the United States, crossing over to all facets of the public and giving country music a permanent spot in the mainstream. Cyrus continued to release records into the 2000s, and also starred with his daughter on the hugely successful Disney television show HANNAH MONTANA.
