Labor of Love (Radney Foster album)


Labor of Love is the second studio album by American country music artist Radney Foster. It was released in 1995 on Arista Records, peaking at #61 on the Billboard Top Country Albums charts and producing three chart singles. It was also his final release for Arista Nashville, although his third album — 1999's See What You Want to See — was issued on Arista Austin.

History

Initially, the album was to have been released in 1994 under the title Never Say Die. However, after lead-off single "Labor of Love" failed to reach Top 40, the album was delayed twice so that it would not interfere with Foster's contribution to a Merle Haggard tribute album. "Willin' to Walk" was issued as the second single in 1995, with its radio edit having been remixed by Steve Ripley of The Tractors. Closing out the album was "If It Were Me". These three singles peaked at #58, #54 and #59, respectively, on the Billboard country charts.
