By 2001, West had signed to Broken Bow Records, then a newly-formed independent label; his debut album, "Livin' the Life", was released that year. West co-wrote ten of the album's thirteen tracks, including its lead-off single "Diddley", which peaked at #56 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. "Diddley" was also made into a music video, which aired on CMT. The album also included his own rendition of "(This One's Gonna) Leave a Mark", which John Michael Montgomery previously recorded for his 1998 album "Leave a Mark".
