Description
Open Road is the debut solo album by British pop singer Gary Barlow. It was released by BMG and RCA Records on 26 May 1997 in Europe, and on 13 January 1998 in America.
Following the success of the album in the United Kingdom and the album charting in over 17 countries internationally, Barlow set about releasing the album in the United States, and signed a record deal with Arista. He soon decided to re-work the album for the American market, and began promotion by releasing a remixed version of “So Help Me Girl” as the lead single, complete with a brand new video, on 30 September 1997. The album was subsequently released on 13 January 1998, and on 17 February, one of the new tracks for the American issue, “Superhero”, was released as the second single. Although it became widely known for its use as the Yankees main theme, it failed to achieve any commercial success.
