Here's Billy Yates lone USA Top 40 hit as a recording artist.

After last year's compilation "Favorites," Billy Yates has returned with his 6th studio album "That's Why I Run."  With all but the debut album self-released, he has carved out quite a nice niche for himself.  With that in mind, does the album stand-up to his past releases?
