Frankie Ballard had three consecutive number one singles off of his debut album; his first single to hit number 1, "Helluva Life," in late 2013, followed by the album's title track "Sunshine & Whiskey" in 2014, and "Young & Crazy" in the summer of 2015. Fans are owning every line of these hit singles as they sing it back in concert and use social media to share their own stories of good times and bad, and the way romance puts a shine on all of it. As they sometimes do, this album's mantras that "bad times make the good times better" and "gotta do a little wrong so I know what's right" from two of Ballard's number one singles have become rallying cries and life-affirming mottos.

Ballard first hit the public spotlight with two Top 30 singles, "Tell Me You Get Lonely" and "A Buncha Girls," appearing on the Grand Ole Opry and playing packed arenas opening for Kenny Chesney and on major tours with Taylor Swift and longtime idol Bob Seger. About his singles  "Whiskey" and "Drinky Drink," Ballard says, "I've been making music for a living for about ten years now and I've found myself in a bit of trouble from time to time. The two things that always put me there ? women and whiskey."

Frankie is a product of Battle Creek, Michigan, a working-class town where he grew up "loving Elvis and Johnny Horton." Sports-obsessed as a kid, he played baseball at Western Michigan University, while he gradually turned a minor interest in music into his main passion. He began playing open mic nights and played drums in a band. By the time he was out of college, he was leading his own band, playing 200+ nights a year within a 300-mile radius and taking trips to Nashville once-a-month.
