His career took off when the Kathy Mattea single "Where've You Been", which he co-wrote with Jon Vezner, won numerous awards in 1990 and 1991.[1] These included the "song of the year" award at the 25th annual Academy of Country Music Awards in 1990,[2] and a Grammy Award for Best Country Song at the 33rd Annual Grammy Awards.[3] He went on to team up with Vezner to write another song, "Whole Lotta Holes", which was also later recorded by Kathy Mattea and released as a single.[4]
In 1991, he released his first solo album, Wild in the Backyard, which was engineered and produced by Ray Kennedy.[5] The album's music was favorably compared to the music of Randy Newman.[6][7][8] The album was also named one of Billboard's top 10 records of 1991.[9] Writing in Entertainment Weekly, Alanna Nash gave the album a B+ grade and described Henry as "One of Nashville’s best young tunesmiths".[8]
