Other cuts followed quickly as Brad’s songs were recorded by McBride and the Ride, Pearl River, Ty Herndon, Aaron Tippin leading to his next hit single on the super-group Blackhawk. “Your Own Little Corner Of My Heart.”

He has also garnered cuts on the 4x platinum Kenny Chesney album, “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem,” Rascal Flatts’ double platinum album, “Melt,” as well as their quadruple platinum “Feels Like Today.”
In 2002, Brad had the honor of having some of his heroes recording one of his songs. That group was the legendary group, Alabama.
The following year, Brad had the singles, “I Can’t Be Your Friend” as recorded by Rushlow (spent 32 weeks on the charts and was a top 10) and “Sweet Southern Comfort” as recorded by Buddy Jewell (spent 6 weeks at 3 on the charts).
