Like the rest of this album this is pure country. Of course Rogers would add rock and pop influences into most of his follow-ups, with a little bit of disco material (The First Edition were one of the 1st acts to record disco in the early 1970s i.e "Something's burning", "Love Woman", etc) he was still making decent songs of course, but this album is 100% traditional country music.This contains many love songs, of course Rogers is now world famous for that. This was where it started. A #1 hit Country album in America, this was his first big hit album on an international level, he had had hit singles all over the world and placed 4 albums in the US top 85, but this was his first album to be a massive seller world-wide. In Britain, for example, it was one of the biggest selling Country albums of 1977, hitting the pop top 20.The story song "Lucille" is a country ditty that made it's way to #1 not only on the US country charts, but also #1 on the pop charts in 12 countries (including the uk pop charts) in 1977.
