One such song is "My Love Will Follow You" a heartbreaker from the underground of country, written by Buddy and Julie Miller. "I love their writing. She sounds so great. They're true writers, if you know what I mean. "Don't Look Away" is another classic love song, closing the album off somewhere in between Chris Isaak and Dwight Yoakam, like a sunset.

McCoy wasn't afraid to pick up his own pen either, "Ten Million Teardrops", was written by Jason and TIM TAYLOR. "Tim and I, we're writing one day, working on this shuffle melody. While stumped for a title we took a break to listen to some old records. The first record pulled was Ten Million Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong and …" And the rest is history, says the fanatic lover of ketchup. (He puts it on everything from eggs to steak to some things here unmentionable. "Chefs hate me," McCoy deadpans.) McCoy also co-wrote the ballad "Fix Anything" with DENNY CARR. Both guys being newlyweds they were discussing the hurdles that face all couples starting out, building a career, buying a home. True love can overcome any obstacle, and that inspired them to write this song. When they played it for their wives' (on separate occasions) they cried...it was very emotional. "Kind of Like It's Love", the first single, was written by JIM LAUDERDALE and JOHN LEVENTHAL, and it sticks out from all those songs we were talking about at the beginning. "I'm happy where country music is right now, it's a time where people are taking risks, and that always breads better artists, and better songs. I'm just trying to find my own space, define my sound, and do my own thing." Damn straight!
