Thin Line Songwriting Credits by Billy Ray Cyrus

Thin Line is largely an interpreter's record rather than a writer's one. The bulk of the songs are covers of country and outlaw standards, so the composer column is dominated by other names: Kris Kristofferson appears three times ('Lovin' Her Was Easier,' 'Sunday Morning Coming Down,' 'Help Me Make It Through the Night'), with Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Danny Flowers, and Sharon Vaughn also represented. Billy Ray Cyrus's own pen shows up on four tracks: he wrote the title cut 'Thin Line' alone, co-wrote 'Stop Pickin' on Willie' with Corky Holbrook and Terry Shelton, co-wrote 'Hope (Let It Find You)' with Jason Charles Miller and Andrew Rollins, and co-wrote the closing 'Angels Protect This Home' with his daughter Miley Cyrus. The production core across the documented tracks is the duo of Stewart Cararas and Jason Charles Miller, with Cyrus, Brandon Friesen, Shooter Jennings, and Andrew Rollins credited across the album.
