Genre: Country
Pop Bits: Sheppard's previous chart entry, "I Loved 'Em Every One," was his best effort at pop reaching #37. His next album, "Finally!" featured this first single that went on to become his ninth #1 country hit. It couldn't make much progress at pop staying in the bottom third of the chart for a couple months.
ReduxReview: While not as interesting as "I Loved 'Em Every One," this is a good country song with some rock-leanings. This style of country was never a favorite, but I can appreciate a well-done tune and I think this is one.
ReduxRating: 5/10
Trivia: Early on while trying to get his music career going, Sheppard also was a successful artist promoter at RCA Records. He developed a relationship with Elvis Presley who encouraged Sheppard to drop promotions and go out on the road. To help things along, Presley gave Sheppard a tour bus. It wasn't long before Sheppard's music career kicked in and he was able to ditch promotions for good.
