Keith's breakthrough album This follow-up was much more successful, with the first single (Miami My Amy) making the country top twenty and three others (Ten feet away, Hard living, Homecoming 63) making the country top ten although none of them got higher than nine. Keith was a traditional country singer whose first release for RCA was a six-track mini-album that yielded three minor country hits.
The album also includes two classic songs (On the other hand, Nobody in his right mind would've left her) that others also recorded as well as some other great songs (I've got the heart for you, I get the picture, That stuff, Quitting time). So while this album did not make Keith a major star, it created a solid platform on which to build. The next album (Don't close your eyes) made him into a major star but his golden age was brief due to his premature death.
This may not quite match the brilliance of Don't close your eyes, but it is an excellent album that should please all fans of traditional country music.
