Data Insight
Five of the ten tracks carry his name and none carries only his name. Kim Williams and Kent Blazy are on most of the ones he wrote. It is another diamond award, and the split between his songs and other people's has not moved since the debut.
In Pieces came out on Liberty in August 1993 and is certified diamond by the RIAA. "Standing Outside the Fire" and "Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)" both came off it.
