About The Record:

Someone to Give My Love To, by Johnny Paycheck, is a classic country album that showcases the artist's powerful baritone and emotional depth as he solidified his comeback in the genre with producer Billy Sherrill's guidance. It features a mix of heartfelt ballads and mid-tempo tracks, including Paycheck's own songwriting contributions like the country ballad A Heart Don’t Need Eyes and mid-tempo numbers such as Your Love Is The Key To It All and She’s All I Live For.
