Seems like Lyle's career followed the same path as K.D.'s. Both started with a country feel then moved over to more in the jazz arena. Both have
about the same number of albums. Both have 4 Grammys. Although neither artist has really hit it big, they both command respect for their
longevity. This is Lyle's second and it crosses that boundary with about the first half for us country folk, and the rest more blues/jazz.
Allmusic gives it their perfect score so somebody there likes both styles. We get Vince Gill and Emmylou for backup vocal chores on three
different tracks. Of course one of the Emmylou tracks gets my favorite. Nothing I love on here though and it just squeaks into the like range.
None of the above singles made it to the big chart but most did show up on the country side with Give Back My Heart doing the best.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
