I will never forget the day I first day I heard it. The whole radio station was floored. We played it over and over and knew something special was about to happen and it sure did. I am talking about the day I heard Billy Ray Cyrus sing 'Achy Breaky Heart'.
I have no problem admitting that I am a Billy Ray Cyrus fan. I have loved his voice and music from the first time I heard the album 'Some Gave All'. Billy is blowing out the candles on his birthday cake today and I thought he deserved some Colorado love on his big 55th birthday.
Miley Cyrus may be the Cyrus we hear about in the news all the time these days but there was a time when her daddy was all the rage in the music scene. Billy Ray never had to ride a wrecking ball or get buck naked to get attention. All he had to do was dance a little goofy and have a horrible mullet..but hey, we all did back then.
1992 was a huge year in country music thanks to the line dancing sensation caused by Billy Ray Cyrus. Country dance clubs got a boost from a Kentucky boy who rocked the world with his Elvis like moves and looks, singing about his achy breaky heart.
Hard to believe it was 23 years ago today that Billy Ray Cyrus exploded onto the music scene. In 1992, when he put out his debut album "Some Gave All" featuring the ground breaking single "Achy Breaky Heart" he blew up like no artist I had seen in my career.
We echo Billy Ray Cyrus when we say that this is the best thing ever. The '90s hitmaker's most famous work of art, "Achy Breaky Heart," has always been a line-dancing favorite, but it's usually humans doing the foot-stompin'. Not at a recent rodeo, however.
The Grammy Awards are Music's Biggest Night for good reason, and the 2015 event was no different, with stars of all genres putting on their Sunday best for the show.
I have had an ongoing battle with Billy Ray Cyrus. In the early 90's I had a big ol mullet and then comes Billy Ray with Achy Breaky Heart and a big ol mullet.
I think Billy Ray may be taking a page out of his daughters "How to Get Attention" book. Miley has been in the news everyday and now it seems Billy Ray wants some attention.
There are many uneducated country fans who consider Billy Ray Cyrus a one hit wonder. Billy hit the scene 23 years ago today. He inked his first recording contract 23 years ago and has had quite an impressive string of hits in spite of much of the public's perception.
