Patient Man is the debut studio album by American country music artist Brad Cotter, who in 2004 was declared the winner of the television talent show Nashville Star..

"Can't Tell Me Nothin'" and "I Miss Me" were both released as well, peaking at #59 on the same chart.

The track "I Came Here to Live" was later recorded by Trace Adkins on his 2006 album Dangerous Man.
