In 1993, Rusty Bladen released his first CD, “Are You Happy Now?” with full band recordings of Rusty’s songs. The CD eventually sold out the first and second pressings. (This was before the days of the digital download) so River Road Records reissued a 2003 version featuring remastered original recordings with new CD cover art. The set features the local radio hit “Don’t Blame it on Me”, concert favorites “Real Gone Gal”, “Just For A While” and the title track.
Recorded: TRC Studios in Indianapolis, Indiana
