Misty (Ray Stevens album)
Misty was Ray Stevens' twelfth studio album as well as being his seventh and final for Barnaby Records. It was released in 1975. This album contains primarily cover versions of various songs that were popular from the 1920s to the 1950s, though there are two original songs for the album as well. Four singles were lifted from the album: the title track, "Indian Love Call," "Young Love," and "Mockingbird Hill".
On November 15, 2005, Collectables Records re-released this album and his 1972 album Turn Your Radio On together on one CD.
