I'll Make Amends

Roy Drusky’s distinct style and personality is familiar to all country fans, but one never knows what songs he’ll choose to sing and record next. In this album, Roy has turned the tables on the current “pop gone country” trend, by taking current hits and turning them into pure country. His interpretation of Peter, Paul & Mary’s LEAVING ON A JET PLANE (recently number one on the pop charts) has a country flavor guaranteed to satisfy any country appetite. Roy gives DON’T IT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO HOME (written and recorded by Joe South and a big pop hit) universal appeal with his down-home country sound. Jimmy Webb wrote HONEY COME BACK, and Bobby Goldsboro recorded it. The song did equally well in pop and country markets because of the established popularity of Goldsboro in both musical fields—Roy’s version will reinforce its country appeal. Roy Drusky’s relaxed, soft country style, complements the words and protects the meaning of TOMORROW NEVER COMES, EARLY MORNIN’ RAIN, and TOO FAR GONE. A solid Drusky influence is felt on EMOTION—DEVOTION, and OUR EVERLASTING LOVE HAS DIED, both written by Roy. SUNDAY MORNIN’ COMIN’ DOWN, Roy’s recent best seller I’LL MAKE AMENDS, and his new single already hitting the charts LONG, LONG TEXAS ROAD, round out the Drusky sound, and make for hours of country listening pleasure.
