With in days of its release the song had managed to achieve the number 1 position on the popular internet based "Soundclick" charts. "Southern Frame Of Mind" made its way to the number 1 spot on the Southern Rock, Country and Country Pop charts. It also managed to garner a surprising number 10 on the Rock chart. Perhaps most remarkably, the time at which Heartland peaked in the charts "Soundclick" reported that it was tracking some 2,152,273 songs and 294,152 artists. Heartland's "Southern Frame Of Mind" also boasted a number 6 in all forms of music. Scherman continued by saying, "Although Heartland had enjoyed a number of successes back in the early days, they never experienced anything quite like the overwhelming response to this internet release."
"Southern Frame Of Mind" was pulled from the 1985 Heartland album, "Bridging the Gap" and features the original members of Heartland; Barry Templeton, Ron Kohlman, Barry McLawhorn, Charlie Helmick and Cliff Lenchner. The album also features vocals and piano work by well known Nashville songwriter and record producer, Mark Carman. Carman who was unkonwn at the time also produced the "Bridging the Gap" album.
