Cherry Red Records Earl Thomas Conley: Somewhere Between Right And Wrong / Don’t Make Easy For Me / Treadin’ Water / Too Many Times - Audio (overig)

Earl Thomas Conley was one of the most successful country singers of the 1980s. His eighteen Billboard No. 1 country singles during the 1980s marked the largest number of #1 hits by any artist in any genre during that decade.\nThroughout his career, Conley’s music was frequently referred to as “thinking man’s country”, a title earned because of an ability to look into the heart and soul of his characters in each song with many of them carrying fragments of his own life in the lyrics.\nThis collection of 40 tracks from four complete albums provides plenty of opportunity for listeners to agree that country music really doesn’t get any better than this. It contains 14 hit singles including 11 #1s and 2 #2s.\n“Somewhere Between Right and Wrong” was released in 1982 and spent 60 weeks on the Billboard country chart. It includes the hits ‘Somewhere Between Right and Wrong’, ‘Heavenly Bodies’ and ‘I Have Loved You Girl (But Not Like This Before)’.\n“Don’t Make It Easy For Me” was released in 1983 and spent a staggering 97 weeks on the charts. It contains 4 #1 hits ‘Don’t Make It Easy For Me’, ‘Your Love’s On The Line’, ‘Holding Her and Loving You’ and ‘Angel In Disguise’.\n“Treadin’ Water” from 1984 remained in the charts for 46 weeks. It includes 3 #1 hits ‘Chance Of Loving You’, ‘Honor Bound’ and ‘Love Don’t Care (Whose Heart It Breaks)’.\nThe title track of the fourth album in this collection “Too Many Times” is a duet with Anita Pointer (of the Grammy winning Pointer Sisters). It reached #2 in the singles chart. The album was released in 1986 spending 49 weeks on the chart. It also included 3 #1 hits ‘I Can’t Win For Losing You’, ‘Right From The Start’ and ‘That Was A Close One’.\nDISC ONE:\nSOMEWHERE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG\n1. HEAVENLY BODIES\n2.
