Paint the Town was the last of the great albums featuring Paulette Carlson as lead vocalist. To be sure, she would later return to the group for a short time, but would never achieve the heights attained in their first three albums. The top singles included the Billboard Country #1 "Who's Lonely Now," the #4 "Walkin', Talkin', Cryin', Barely Beatin' Broken Heart," and the #11 "This Side of Goodbye." Other great tunes were "If Love Had a Heart" and "I'll Paint the Town," but a cover version of James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James" seemed out of place for this two-stepping honky-tonk group.
