Wanna Be Your Joe Songwriting Credits by Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray Cyrus wrote or co-wrote fifteen of the album's sixteen tracks and produced the whole thing himself, so his name anchors both the writing and production columns. He wrote seven songs alone and brought in co-writers on the rest: Paul Abraham on 'The Man,' Jeff Tweel on 'I Wouldn't Be Me,' Terry Shelton and Mark Collie on 'What About Us,' his son Trace Cyrus on 'Country Music Has the Blues,' Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ed King and Artimus Pyle on 'The Freebird Fell,' Andy Dodd and Adam Watts on 'Stand,' and Jude Cole on 'Without You.' The lone outside song is the hidden closing cover 'One Night,' written by Dave Bartholomew, Pearl King, and Anita Steiman and made famous by Elvis Presley. The family thread runs through the credits as much as the guest list, with both Miley and Trace Cyrus taking part.
