Brad Cotter may be a Patient Man, as the name of his debut album implies, but that didn't keep him from recording it in only three weeks in time for release July 6. Now, with his first single, "I Meant To," already in the Top 40, Brad's glad fans have access to all the tunes on the album, five of which he had a hand in writing. "I had no idea you could make a record in three weeks," he smiles. "We were real fortunate that we were prepared or we couldn't have done it in this short a time that we had." Brad's still on the Nashville Star Tour and filling his schedule with other gigs through the end of the year.
