Editing Billy Ray Cyrus (section)

=== Post-Brother Clyde, "Old Town Road" remix and popular resurgence ===
In late 2010, Cyrus suspended his activities in the band [[Brother Clyde]], and announced the release of his new solo patriotic album, entitled ''[[I'm American]]''. Initially scheduled to be released in November 2010, it was pushed back to a May 24, 2011, release with a re-recording of "Some Gave All" that featured guest vocals from [[Darryl Worley]], [[Jamey Johnson]] and [[Craig Morgan]] being released as the lead-off single. However, in April 2011, the single was changed to "Runway Lights". ''I'm American'' was released on June 28, 2011. A second single, "[[Nineteen (song)|Nineteen]]", was released in August 2011. The song entered the Hot Country Songs chart for the week of October 8, 2011, where it debuted at number 58, becoming Cyrus' first charted single since "A Good Day" in 2009.

Cyrus released the album ''[[Change My Mind (Billy Ray Cyrus album)|Change My Mind]]'' on October 23, 2012. Its first single, the title track, was released on September 6.

In April 2017, Cyrus told ''[[Rolling Stone Country]]'' that on his birthday, August 25, he would be known as Cyrus, or "the artist formerly known as Billy Ray", after legally changing his name.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/billy-ray-cyrus-changes-name-to-cyrus-re-records-achy-breaky-heart-117126/|title=Billy Ray Cyrus Changes Name to 'Cyrus,' Re-Records 'Achy Breaky Heart'|last=Hudak|first=Joseph|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=April 28, 2017|accessdate=August 30, 2021}}</ref> Fans did not like this, but on ''[[Live with Kelly and Ryan]]'' Cyrus said "I'm here to set the record straight.
