Records, following the closure of Atlantic Records' country division in 2001. The track "'Til Nothing Comes Between Us", the first single, was a top 20 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart in 2002. "Four Wheel Drive" and "Country Thang" were also released as singles, although neither reached the top 40. "It Goes Like This" is a collaboration with the band Sixwire, who at the time were also on Warner Bros. Records. Their lead singer, Steve Mandile, co-wrote the track.
