Dream Walkin'
Dream Walkin' is the fifth studio album by American country music artist Toby Keith. It was released on June 24, 1997, by Mercury Records and is his final album on the label. It was certified gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000 copies. Four singles were released from the album; in order of release, they were: "We Were in Love", "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying", "Dream Walkin'", and "Double Wide Paradise". Respectively, these reached #2, #2, #5, and #40 on the Hot Country Songs charts, making the first studio album of his career not to produce any Number One hits. After the album's release, Keith departed from Mercury Records, and signed contracts with DreamWorks Records in 1999.
"I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying" was originally recorded by British rock artist Sting on his 1996 album Mercury Falling, from which it was released as a single. The version featured here is a duet with Sting, and is Sting's only entry on the country music charts.
"Jacky Don Tucker " was later included in the soundtrack to the 2006 film Broken Bridges, which was also Keith's debut as an actor. It was earlier included in the 2000 movie The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood!
A music video was filmed for "Tired", although it was not released as a single.
