Billie Jo Spears - Lonely Hearts Club

In this episode we're featuring one of Billie Jo Spears' finest records under the eye of producer Larry Butler on the United Artists label: "Lonely Hearts Club" (1978). Billie Jo had enjoyed popularity in the UK as the "Queen Mother Of Country Music" at times when her US sales were down - however this album did well in the USA as well, spawning three singles which charted at #18, #17 and #16 consecutively. We feature two of those three singles, including the title track, and a great love song penned by country great Ed Bruce.
