Billy Sherrill has performed the same kind of wonders for more than 30 country-style singers, including such other stars as Johnny Duncan, Tanya Tucker and Johnny Paycheck. In all, he has more than 50 No. 1 hits to his credit. Nowadays, a week rarely passes without a couple of Sherrill-produced records among the top ten.

The result is a straightforwardly loyal production whose tense sadness is too direct to be shirked...
...Goats and Cows. Boudreau does his own summer traveling in a Dodge Sightseer with his wife Kathleen and their three children-Jonathan, 6; Robert Josquin, 3; Tanya, 2. The rest of the year, home is a 20-acre farm outside Pittsburgh where he raises goats and cows, grows corn and tomatoes and listens to tapes of new composers who may be worth a commission...
