Content

While none of the album's singles charted, two did for other artists. "Somebody Paints the Wall" was originally a minor country chart single in 1988 for Josh Logan from his debut album of the same name, and was later a Top Ten country hit in 1992 for Tracy Lawrence from his debut album Sticks and Stones. "Ol' Red" was later covered by Kenny Rogers on his 1993 album If Only My Heart Had a Voice, and later still by Blake Shelton on his 2001 self-titled debut. Shelton's rendition was a Top 20 on the country charts for him that year.
