About The Record:

Southern Rain, by Mel Tillis, reached No. 22 on US Country and contains the singles Southern Rains (No. 1 US Country, No. 1 CAN Country), Million Old Goodbyes (No. 8 US Country, No. 10 CAN Country), and One Night Fever (No. 10 US Country). After a hit-packed decade in the '70s, country superstar Mel Tillis's streak finally started to wind down in the early '80s. SOUTHERN RAIN's title cut was his last No. 1 hit. The album finds Tillis still at the peak of his powers, turning out tracks like the great drinking song Pyramid of Cans (also done by George Jones) and Forgive Me For Giving You the Blues, which bears a Ray Price-style shuffle. The influence of Waylon Jennings is evident in the guitar sound, and Southern Rains and Louisiana Lonely sport a contemporary feel, but this is still 100% classic country.
