Austin released his first album, What My Heart Already Knows , on May 6, 1997. The album was certified gold by the Canadian Recording Industry Association for sales of 50,000 copies, [1] and the first single, "Little Ol' Kisses," went to No. 1 the Canadian country singles chart. That same year, Austin won the Wrangler Rising Star Award from the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA). All of the additional singles released from the album reached the top 20, including the No. 3 song, "Diamond." In 1998, Austin was nominated for Best Country Male Vocalist at the Juno Awards, but lost to Paul Brandt.

Austin was left with several broken and cracked ribs, a punctured right lung, and a gaping hole in his right leg. [2] After his recovery, Back in Your Life was released on March 7, 2000.
