They issued a self-titled album on Capitol Records in 1997, and two related singles, "Walkin' the Country" and "Just Some Love", which appeared on the country charts before the group disbanded in 1998.[4] Besides its two singles, The Ranch included "Some Days You Gotta Dance", which was issued in 2001 as a single by the Dixie Chicks, and also had Urban on guitar.[5] After disbanding The Ranch, Urban resumed his solo career, many of which afterwards have included Flowers.[4] Due to his solo success, The Ranch's album was re-issued in February 2004 on Capitol/EMI as Keith Urban in The Ranch with two bonus tracks: "Billy" and "Stuck in the Middle with You", the latter is a cover version of a single by the 1970s band Stealers Wheel.[6] It also featured two music videos, "Walkin' the Country" and "Clutterbilly".[6]
