On Purpose

Multi platinum-selling country icon Clint Black is back. Long heralded as one of Country music's biggest stars, Black releases On Purpose, his first all-new studio album in a decade. On Purpose, Black's twenty-first album overall, marks his first since 2005's Drinkin' Songs and Other Logic and is his twelfth studio release.

The 14-track album, recorded at Black's studio in Nashville compiles a strikingly diverse group of his self-produced songs. The lilting "You Still Get to Me" marks Black's third duet with his wife, actor Lisa Hartman Black. Ballads like "Only One Way to Live," "Stay Gone," "Breathing Air" and "Last Day" have never cut deeper, while his merry, clever "Beer" and "Better and Worse" are among the most upbeat songs that he has ever crafted. "Time For That," "Doing It Now For Love" and "Summertime Song" are catchy examples of how groove-soaked his music can be. "Calling It News" is a wry, topical statement, while "The Trouble" is colored by Australian slang.
