Kentucky hunk Billy Ray Cyrus, unsanctioned by Nashville or New York, has finally made the country single that pop audiences want to hear. And what a single it is: "Achy Breaky Heart" matches earnest breakup anguish with loony bemusement in a C&W; tradition that's only hairs away from novelty – redeemed in this case by the song's boogie-billy instrumentation.
