Billy Ray "The Mullet" Cyrus Returns

Billy Ray Cyrus took the music world by storm with his rockin' country. Now, on his newest album, he returns to those Southern rock roots. Wanna Be Your Joe (New Door/UMe), released July 18, 2006, celebrates the joys, heroes and music of a generation that brought together rock and country.

From "Country Music Has The Blues" featuring greats George Jones and Loretta Lynn, "The Freebird Fell" penned with Lynyrd Skynyrd's Artemis Pyle and Ed King, and "The Man," a tribute to NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, to the tongue-in-cheek "I Want My Mullet Back," Wanna Be Your Joe is about the life and loves of the average Joe. In fact, one love affair's life cycle is heard in a string of song titles: "Wanna Be,” "I Wouldn't Be Me," "What About Us," "Lonely Wins," "I Wonder," "How've You Been" and "Ole What's Her Name." "Hey Daddy," a poignant and personal song about being a father, finishes out the CD.

Music that rocks and touches emotions, songs that are reverent and some even satirical, and all styles are evident on his latest release, Wanna Be Your Joe. Billy Ray currently appears on Hannah Montana, the Disney Channel hit show starring his real-life daughter, Miley.
