By the Numbers
Change My Mind is Billy Ray Cyrus at his most self-written. His name appears on all ten tracks: he wrote six of them alone and co-wrote the other four. The co-writes bring in Michael J. Sagraves on the title track, John Frederick Lenz and Don Von Tress on 'Hope Is Just Ahead,' and Corky Holbrook on 'I'm So Miserable.' Von Tress is the writer behind Cyrus's signature hit 'Achy Breaky Heart,' making his return here a notable reunion. Brandon Friesen produced the whole record, so the production credit stays constant while the writing column is dominated by Cyrus himself.
Change My Mind is a studio album by Billy Ray Cyrus, released October 23, 2012 on his own Blue Cadillac Music label. Produced by Brandon Friesen, it is a country record built almost entirely around Cyrus as a writer, with his name on every one of the ten tracks. He wrote six of the songs by himself and co-wrote the other four with a small group of collaborators, including Michael J. Sagraves on the title track and Don Von Tress on 'Hope Is Just Ahead.' The album reached number 38 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and produced the singles 'Change My Mind,' 'Hillbilly Heart,' and 'Hope Is Just Ahead.' It runs a little over forty minutes and is one of the most self-written records in his catalog.
