Billy Ray Cyrus - Words By Heart

Review by Jarle Petterson

Album Review: "Words By Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus (1993) Back in '93, Billy Ray Cyrus dropped Words By Heart, an album that didn’t exactly light the world on fire but still had its own quiet charm. It’s folk-meets-country with a splash of Contemporary Country vibes, released under Mercury Records. Produced by Jim Cotton and Joe Scaife, this record feels like a laid-back chat with an old friend—comfortable, familiar, and sometimes kinda forgettable. But hey, when it clicks, it really clicks. Let’s talk tracks. The title track, “Words By Heart,” is one of those songs that sneaks up on you. Monty Powell and Reed Nielsen penned something simple yet sticky here—a tune about love and loyalty that doesn’t try too hard to impress. You can almost picture Billy Ray sitting on a porch somewhere, strumming his guitar while the sun sets. It’s not flashy, but there’s a sincerity to it that sticks with you. Like, you might catch yourself humming it days later without even realizing why. Then there’s “Throwin’ Stones.” This one hits different—it’s got grit, attitude, and just enough sass to make it stand out from the rest of the album. If “Words By Heart” is the warm hug, this track is the raised eyebrow daring you to step closer. Lyrically, it calls out hypocrisy in a way that feels bold for a country song of its time. Not gonna lie, I found myself rewinding this one more than once just to soak it all in. Now, does Words By Heart reinvent the wheel? Nah. Does every track land perfectly? Nope. But what makes it worth remembering is how unapologetically Billy Ray it feels. There’s no chasing trends or trying to be someone he’s not. He’s just doing his thing, and honestly, that’s kinda refreshing. Here’s the kicker though—listening to this album now feels like flipping through an old photo album. It’s dated, sure, but it’s also nostalgic in a way that newer music often isn’t. And honestly? That’s kind of beautiful. So if you’re hunting for something raw, real, and maybe a little rough around the edges, give Words By Heart a spin. Or don’t. Either way, Billy Ray probably won’t lose any sleep over it—he’s busy being a legend in his own right.

This is a great song. I wish we had those who could still sing today. But alas we are in the age of the idiot who thinks they are singing when they are just making bullshit noise.

He was the man/mullet and songs ? also great voice that made modern country main stream because 80's rock BIG HAIR was dying. So Billy Ray was one the POSTER BOYS of country in the 1990s and it cool to be country.
