Award-winning country singer Billy Dean grew a huge fan base in the early '90s
with hit songs like "A Fire in the Dark," "Billy the Kid," and "Somewhere in My
Broken Heart," and then he kind of slipped from the spotlight. Then he put his
best foot forward again with the release of this emotional and thought-provoking
1998 album, Real Man. The acoustic-based tunes on this recording leave a little
of the pop flavor behind and lean more comfortably on the simple country he is
so good at offering fans. The ballads really let his vocal talents shine. Dean's
father was a guitar player and singer and part of a group called the Country
Rocks. Working with his band, young Dean grew up under influences like Marty
Robbins, Charley Pride, Hank Williams, Jim Reeves, and even Chuck Berry and
Elvis. Many of these early influences show on Dean's music. When he started
working on this album, Dean took time to rediscover the songwriter within him.
The result is that most of the songs on Real Man were written by him, or
co-written with longtime friend and former frontman of the group Bread, David
Gates. Other songwriters lent some talent to this album also, including Richard
Leigh. On this album, you'll find great songs like "Voices Singing," which was
done with the backing help of the St. Nicholas School Children's Choir of
Chattanooga and Dean's son, Eli. Singer Gina Jefferys duets with Dean for the
tune "If I Can Find the Heart."
