Data Insight
All eleven tracks carry her and none carries only her. Jeff Trott is back on almost everything after sitting out the country album, and Tchad Blake, who engineered the 1996 record, mixes it. The intent was to sound like 1996 and the credits match.
Be Myself came out on Warner Bros. in April 2017, made with Jeff Trott and Tchad Blake as a deliberate return to the sound of her 1990s albums. It sold 20,000 in the United States.
