Billy ray cyrus southern rain

Southern Rain is the sixth studio album by country music artist Billy Ray Cyrus. The album produced five singles on the Hot Country Songs charts, including the number 17 "You Won't Be Lonely Now". This was his first album for Monument Records after leaving Mercury Records in 1999.

Critical reception

Giving it 2 out of 5 stars, William Ruhlmann of Allmusic wrote that it was "a sturdy collection of average country songs effectively performed by a minor country talent. All of which was fine, unless you were hoping for an album that measured up to Cyrus' early sales figures, which, of course, Monument was."
