Gentle on My Mind (Patti Page album)

Gentle on My Mind was a studio album by Patti Page, released by Columbia Records. It was originally released in June 1968 as a vinyl LP. It produced and arranged by Don Costa, and conducted by Patti's long-time accompanist, Rocky Cole.

Overview

The album was recorded right after her hit country song "Little Green Apples", which peaked at No. 12 on the US Billboard Easy Listening chart, and at No. 96 on the Hot 100. The other single included in the album was Gentle On My Mind (No. 7 on the Easy Listening chart and No. 66 on the Hot 100). The album includes many other well-known country hits, such as the Jim Reeves hit song, "Four Walls" and a country hit of 1967, "Green Green Grass of Home".

The album peaked at No. 168 on the Billboard Top LPs chart during a six-week run on the chart.

Reception

An unspecified reviewer on Record World said that "The songs here, mostly in the city - country frame, will fall gently on the ear", and noted; "But doesn't everything that Patti sings? 'Gentle on My Mind,' 'Green Green Grass of Home,' 'Skip a Rope,' 'Little Green Apples,' etc."

Reissue

The album was reissued, combined with the 1965 Patti Page album Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, on compact disc by Collectables Records on August 24, 1999.
