Breaking New Ground is the debut studio album by American country music band Wild Rose. Originally issued in 1988 via Universal Records, it was rereleased on April 9, 1990 via Capitol Records.[2] The album includes the singles "Breaking New Ground" and "Go Down Swingin'".
Critical reception
Giving it a "B", Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly wrote that "the band offers a kicky program of country-rock, bluegrass, Texas swing, Louisiana spice, honky-tonk, and jazzy 'dawg' music…Little of this is combined into a cohesive sound, but whatever Wild Rose is, it's never boring."[3]
