Celebrating his sixth solo album of the same title which Rankin says, "We've gotten so much positive response to the songs on this album..."
Rankin first started playing music as a young man joining his siblings in the Rankin Family. Together they quickly became well known for their Cape Breton Celtic sound. Following this experience brothers and sisters of the Rankin family decided to pursue solo careers.
Proud of his new album, he describes it as being "...really catchy, you can write that kind of song in another genre, but these are country pop songs, with great choruses and great arrangements. To me, it's nice to sing those songs and have people recognize them and sing along to them. That's where I am these days."
