Outside a guest appearance on Music/KennyChesney's 2004 chart-topper "When the Sun Goes Down", Kracker was rather quiet until 2009 (thanks in part to his next album spending forever in DevelopmentHell), when his career caught fire again with "Smile", a crossover hit that went Top 40 at pop, and Top 10 at both AC and country. Ever since, he has focused mainly on country-rock albums.
