Third album from Kenny Rogers first project, after achieving fame with the previous albums Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In). An awesome song. This album was before they plugged Kennys name at the front of the group. In fact there are only 3 tracks on here where Kenny takes the lead, the most notable being Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town, which would reach #6 in the U.S, only after it was re-released on an album of the same name. The single from this album of But You Know I Love You reached #19, with the album on peaking at #164.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - The Last Few Threads Of Love
Best Track - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town
You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
It wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company
Its hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long i've heard them say until I not around
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam
100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around
