This album came out the same year as Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton had their big success with "Islands in the Stream" and was unfortunately overshadowed by them. This is a consistently great album, highly recommended.

"To Me" is my favorite on this album. This makes a wonderful wedding song. I had it sang at my wedding and received so many compliments on that song. I still have people calling me to ask me what the title was and I still suggest it after 10 years.

I never thought Mandrell and Greenwood had good chemistry as a duet partners. I admit I'm not a fan of Greenwoods music or style of singing. "To me" was a great song and would have been a great song with just Barbara. (Later she did re-record the song and it was so much better) One other song on the album worth a ear is "Soft shoulder" a fun love song. This is one of those albums only a true Mandrell or Greenwood fan would want.

By the mid-eighties it was obvious Mandrell was in need of another great singing partner. Her magic with David Houston in the early seventies was legendary. In the attempt to work some new magic with Lee Greenwood, Mandrell just barely succeeds. The wondrous pop ballad "To Me" is pure heaven, but most of the other tracks on this album are too repetitive, and not on the good side. A weak album, but definitely worth pressing for the above mentioned classic!
