‘Catch of the Day’ – Clint Black – “Time For That” [AUDIO]

Today's focus falls on an artist who's debut album, Killin' Time charted five consecutive #1 singles, becoming the first debut album in country music chart history to accomplish that feat.

Clint Black burst onto the country music scene in 1989, when his debut album charted four straight number one hits on the Billboard country chart. His first four singles, "A Better Man", "Killin' Time", "Nobody's Home" and "Walkin' Away" all topped the charts, making Black not only the first artist to have four number ones from a debut album, but also the first artist to have their first four singles climb to #1.

Black has released 9 albums, the first 7 on RCA Records, the last 2 on his own label Equity Records, which he founded in 2003, after spending 3 years away from the music industry to raise his newborn daughter. Black started the label in order give artists more control over their own music, a concept that was unusual in the industry at the time. He released the albums Spend My Time and Drinkin' Songs and Other Logic on the label, as well as the digitial EP The Long Cool EP. The EP was the final project for Equity Music Group, which closed its doors later that year.

During his career, Black has released 46 singles, of which, 29 have cracked the top-10 and 22 have made it all the way to number. Black hasn't released new music since Equity shut its doors in 2008, his most recent single, "Long Cool Woman" peaked at #58 that year. The singer has routinely hinted at the possibility of a new album in that time, but with the exception of a Cracker Barrel exclusive album of re-recorded Black classics, which featured three new songs, no new album has materialized.

Until now. In July of this year, Black signed a recording contract with independent label Thirty Tigers. On Friday, Black released On Purpose, his first full-length album of new music since 2005. The lead single from the album is in our spotlight today; Clint Black and "Time For That" is today's Catch of the Day, new music you haven't heard, but you'll want to hear it again.
