This is Track #8 from the 1983 Pat Terry album, "Film At Eleven" Listen to the whole album here -
Mark Heard produced this Pat Terry album, and if you like Mark’s own albums then you’ll probably like this one too. The harmonies and chorus work is very reminiscent of Mark’s Stop The Dominoes album. Having said that, Pat Terry has his own contribution to the CCM genre here. He is a witty lyricist and a good musician. Film At Eleven features a solid collection of songs that can stick with you, starting from catchy, quirky tunes like “Cats and Dogs” and “Yard Sale” to contemplative pieces like “Growing Up and Growing Old.” Every song on this album is a thoughtful piece if you’re listening. The style is a little more rock than what the typical country music sound was at the time, but a little less rock than the popular hits. I think this in-between status probably held this album back from broader success. Pat is an accomplished songwriter, having had songs recorded by Mark Heard, Mylon Lefevre, The Oak Ridge Boys, Tanya Tucker, Kenny Chesney, Travis Tritt, B. J. Thomas and many others. Pat released seven albums under “The Pat Terry Group” in the 1970s before doing three solo albums in the 1980s. You can also hear Pat on the Mark Heard tribute album from 1993 “Strong Hand of Love.” Still going strong, Pat’s most recent album was released in 2018.
