BR5-49 is the self-titled debut album of the American country music band BR5-49. The album was released in 1996 (see 1996 in country music) on the Arista Nashville label. Three singles were released from the album, all of which charted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. "Cherokee Boogie", the first of these three, was the highest charting, reaching #44. Following it were "Even If It's Wrong" at #68 and "Little Ramona (Gone Hillbilly Nuts)" at #61.
The album contains four covers: The aforementioned "Cherokee Boogie" was originally recorded by Moon Mullican, "I Ain't Never" and "Honky Tonk Song" were previously recorded by Mel Tillis, and the former was previously a hit for Webb Pierce as well. Also, "Crazy Arms" is a cover of a Ray Price song.
