Joe Stampley - Ten Songs About Her (1976) [Hi-Res]

Ten Songs About Her was released on September 17, 1976, at the height of Joe Stampley's most prolific period. That year he simultaneously charted eight singles on the Billboard country chart, earning him the magazine's title of Country Singles Artist of the Year. The album was his fourth consecutive release on Epic Records and distilled the essence of his signature sound — an artful blend of blue-eyed soul, rock feel, and country sensibility.
Produced by Norro Wilson, his long-standing collaborator and co-writer, the record was built around Stampley's distinctive voice: country instrumentation underpinned by rock rhythms and white-soul vocal phrasing — an approach unusual for Nashville at the time. The tracklist balanced original material tailored for Stampley with reinterpretations of established country staples, including Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away" and a revisited take on "Take Me Back."
The album yielded two charting singles: "There She Goes Again" (written by Lane Caudell and John Wesley Ryles, peaking at #11 on the Billboard Country chart in 1976) and "She's Long Legged" (written by Norro Wilson and Dan Darst, reaching #26 in 1977). Among the album's highlights, Bobby Braddock's "Apt. #4, Sixth Street and Cincinnati" and John Conlee's "The Backside of Thirty" — later a hit in Conlee's own recording — testify to the calibre of songwriting material that Epic and Wilson were sourcing. The album reached #30 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, capturing Stampley at the peak of his solo career, before his celebrated partnership with Moe Bandy came to define his public image in the early 1980s.
