Dream Me Home/The Lonesomest Lonesome/Everybody Loves A Love Song/Naughty Girl/Friend Lover Woman Wife/Half & Half (Song For Sarah)/Spread Your Love On Me/Whoever Finds This I Love You/Poor Boy Boogie/Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me/The Words Don't Come Easy

Before his commercial breakthrough as a singer with Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me Mac Davis was best known as a songwriter for other artists, including Elvis Presley. The title track was a US No. 1 hit single. (US:11)

“I like low/middle-brow nostalgia-inducing seventies stuff, but this just smirks too much and is misogynist. The arrangements are generic to the point where I wonder if they weren't programmed to sell to middle Americans prone to buying any record that featured a TV personality with a nice smile on the cover.”

“I have loved Mac Davis' music for years. He was such a great entertainer and Baby Don`t Get Hooked On Me was my all time favourite album. I would love to see him entertaining again. His music had such warmth and love in it from the heart.”

“Mac is a wonderful entertainer as well as writer. He brings you into his life with each word. I felt as if I was there during relationships, break-ups and the joy of his children. He has no idea how much pleasure he has given to us as we listen, laugh and cry with him.”

“Texas songwriter/singer Mac Davis knew the ins and outs of how to pen a good pop song; Kenny Rogers and Elvis both scored hits with his compositions.”

“Mac Davis was one of those singers from the 1970s that when you tell people now that you liked him they kind of roll their eyes at you.”
