We Weren't Crazy
Encyclopedia
We Weren't Crazy is the second studio album from American
country music artist Josh Gracin
. Originally titled All About Y'all, the album was slated for release in mid-2006 after the release of its debut single "Favorite State of Mind". However the album release was delayed when the debut single failed to perform strongly on radio. A second single, "I Keep Coming Back", was issued in early 2007, and the album's name was changed to I Keep Coming Back. This single similarly failed to perform well. The album was finally issued on April 1, 2008 as a limited release, following the release of its title track which was a top 10 hit.
Overall, the album's five singles have all charted in the Top 40 on the Hot Country Songs
charts, including the number ten title track. Next came "Unbelievable (Ann Marie)" (a song that Josh Gracin wrote about his wife), which peaked at number 36, his least successful single to date, and "Telluride", which was previously recorded by Tim McGraw
on his 2001 album Set This Circus Down
, which peaked at number 34. "I Don't Want to Live" was recorded as "I Don't Wanna Live" by Chris Cagle
on his 2008 album My Life's Been a Country Song
. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard
Top Country Albums chart.
Sales of We Weren't Crazy failed to meet those of Gracin's debut, with 18,000 units sold on its first week. He parted company with Lyric Street in April 2009 after the single "Telluride"'s poor performance on the chart.
