Back to Tennessee is the eleventh studio album released from country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus. The album was released on April 7, 2009, on Lyric Street Records. It is also the follow-up album to 2007s Home at Last. Originally planned to be released in July 2008, the album was pushed to new release dates five times. "Somebody Said a Prayer" was released as the album's lead-off single, and was a top 40 hit on the country charts in late 2008. The title track and "A Good Day" followed it as the second and third singles, reaching number 47 and number #59, respectively. Also on the album is "Butterfly Fly Away", a duet with daughter Miley Cyrus. The song is also on the Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack. Cyrus and Lyric Street Records parted ways shortly after the chart debut of "A Good Day".
"Somebody Said a Prayer", the title-track and "A Good Day" have been released from Back to Tennessee. Additionally, "Butterfly Fly Away" (a duet with daughter Miley Cyrus), was released as a promotional single for Hannah Montana: The Movie.
"Thrillbilly", an album-cut, was also turned into a music video; it premiered on May 22, 2009. The song was originally planned to be the third single release from the album, but it was later changed to "A Good Day".
The song "I Could Be the One" was recorded and released by country music singer Glen Templeton as his debut single in April 2011. The song debuted at number 58 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week ending July 30, 2011. "He's Mine" also appears on Rodney Atkins' 2011 album Take a Back Road, from which it was released as a single in late 2011.
The album's first single, "Somebody Said a Prayer", was released to radio on August 16, 2008, where it debuted at number 53 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Due to the success of its predecessor, "Ready, Set, Don't Go", critics were expecting the song to be Cyrus' solo comeback to country music. However, the song only managed to reach a peak of number 33 in November 2008.
