    The first Billy Yates cut as a songwriter came when legendary country artist George Jones recorded two Yates compositions for his 1992 album Walls Can Fall, including "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair," the 1993 Country Music Association's Vocal Event of the Year. Jones would later take the Yates-penned "Choices" into the Top 30 on the country charts. The song earned Yates and co-writer Mike Curtis a Grammy nomination. More cuts came for Yates while he pursued his own record deal. Almo Sounds released the singer's self-titled debut in 1997. The album's first single, the riveting "Flowers," cemented Yates' reputation as a traditionalist. In 2006, Yates and California businessman Scott Hacker partnered to form Smokin' Grapes Music Publishing, a company based out of Nashville, TN. Yates' songs have been recorded by various artists, including Gary Allan, Tracy Lawrence, George Strait, Sara Evans, and Kenny Chesney.
