Data Insight
Eight of the ten tracks are his, the highest share to that point, and it is the first of his albums to sell under ten million. The two facts sit next to each other without explaining each other, but they are the shape of the rest of the career: more of his own songs, fewer buyers.
Fresh Horses came out on Capitol Nashville in November 1995 and is certified eight times platinum by the RIAA. It sold far less than the four albums before it.
