At the time, Nashville was cultivating more and more crossover acts with no end in sight. Tritt wasn't sure if he fit in. Things changed after he signed with Sony.

At Warner Brothers, we'd talk about why I wasn't getting mentioned and they'd say there were problems with my image and this and that. Lately, talking with radio people, I discovered my record label just gave up on me. They quit trying. It was very, very tough. Then, Tritt dropped out of the public eye just as other Class of '89 members were taking stock of their careers.
