About The Record:

Heartbreak Radio by Rita Coolidge is a smooth blend of pop, soft rock, soul, and country-inflected sounds featuring thoughtful covers such as Carole King's Walk On In, Bacharach and David's Wishin' and Hopin', and the title track originally by Exile, along with an early version of The Closer You Get which later became a major country hit for Alabama. A unique aspect is its yacht rock vibe in the title song, which stands out as a fan-favorite with its radio-friendly groove and emotional delivery. The album captures Coolidge's versatile interpretive style during a transitional phase of her career, drawing on her rich history of chart success and collaborations. It includes solid tracks like One More Heartache and Hold On (I Feel Our Love Is Changing) that highlight her warm vocal tones. The title track Heartbreak Radio became a hit single reaching No. 3 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
