Dean's first single was "Lowdown Lonely", which did not enter the charts. It was followed by "Only Here for a Little While", the second release from his debut album "Young Man". This song and its follow-up, "Somewhere in My Broken Heart" (previously recorded by Randy Travis on his 1989 album "No Holdin' Back") were both No. 3 hits on the "Billboard" country charts. The latter was also a minor hit on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts. "Young Man" was certified gold by the RIAA.
