I was looking through Billy Dean's discography and realized I have no memory of his Men'll Be Boys album released in 1994. I couldn't even recall the first single "Cowboy Band" and had to go back and listen to it...still don't remember it. Not quite sure why this album didn't perform better, but I suppose it had something to do with Liberty Records merging with Capitol Records at the time time.

I'm not too familiar with his music from the last 15 years, except for the above two songs.
Once in a While is a very poignant song from the movie 8 Seconds. Every time I think of that song, in my mind, I can't help but see Billy singing it on a cold day, with his breath showing in the air. (In other words, I like the video.)

TOP: 2. Swinging For The Fence (absolutely love this one; should have been the follow-up to "Let Them Be Little") 6. Race You To The Bottom (does anyone other than me know this one?) Two outstanding songs. RYTTB is one of the most underrated songs I can think of. |

5. Somewhere In My Broken Heart
Also, "Fire in the Dark" is the only one of his studio albums I own, but I will mention several album tracks on that one that I like off that one: "When a Woman Cries" (written by Joshua Kadison), "Two of the Lucky Ones", and "Give Me All the Pieces". I will say I don't enjoy his version of "Steam Roller", but I really don't enjoy JT's original either. If I want to hear someone from Boston sing the blues, I'll take Susan Tedeschi every day of the week!
I don't really hate any of his songs so I don't really have a five worst. I do want to ask since I've seen it on several Bottom 5's on this list, why no love for "I'm Not Built That Way"? I play acoustic guitar and I love playing that riff. Actually that's why I like several of those in my Top 5.
