History
After winning Can You Duet, they were signed to Columbia Records' Nashville division and started work on recording their debut album. While originally their debut single was to be "Even Now", after a string of radio tours, the label decided to change the single to "Address in the Stars". The song debuted at #60 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in March 2009,[1] and peaked at #42 in June 2009. They made their Grand Ole Opry debut on May 22, 2009.[2]
On March 31, 2009, they released a six song digital EP, entitled Caitlin & Will - EP. The EP debuted and peaked on both the Billboard Top Country Albums and Top Heatseekers charts at #51 and #46, respectively. It features their debut single "Address in the Stars", which was intended as the lead-off single to a full-length studio record titled Dark Horse. It was announced on October 1, 2009, that Caitlin & Will had parted ways with Columbia Records Nashville. Thus, Dark Horse went unreleased,[3] and it was announced that the duo had split.[4]
