"In A Mansion Stands My Love" is a beautiful duet which features Johnny and Crystal Gayle, and a great piano background that sounds very much like the music of Floyd Cramer. "Ain't You Even Gonna Cry" is a really great song which also features Crystal Gayle and a great mandolin background. "40 Acres Of Hell" is one of those great country music story songs that I love so much. "I'm Leavin'" features Bobby Osborne and Bobby Bare. I think Johnny and the two Bobby's sound great together! "Making Plans" features Bobby Osborne and Dolly Parton. I love this song! It's the story of a couple who are about to break up and really don't want to but have got their wires crossed somewhere and each think that it's what the other wants. It's amazing how a song will just leap up at you from an album and get your attention. "I Give Up" is one of those songs. It's a hymn-type of song. My favorite song on the album is "He's Got You Right Where I Want You." It's got a good county two-step beat. "Let's Fall To Pieces Together" is a great Johnny Russell classic that I am sure you are all familiar with. As one of George Strait's first hit songs. "Got No Reason Now For Going Home" we all know has been one of Gene Watson's hit songs. This version features The Whites singing background vocals, and it sounds great in kind of a medium tempo bluegrass style.
