"BY THE TIME OF HIS THIRD ALBUM, MOST OF WHICH WAS RECORDED WHEN HE WAS 18 YEARS OLD, RICKY NELSON HAD LOTS OF PERFORMING UNDER HIS BELT, AND THE ROADWORK SHOWED IN HIS MUCH MORE CONFIDENT VOCALS. ALSO, AS A MAJOR RECORDING ARTIST, HE WAS HAVING MATERIAL WRITTEN FOR HIM INSTEAD OF HAVING TO FILL UP HIS LP'S WITH COVERS OF OTHER PEOPLE'S HITS. IN THOSE SONGS AND IN THE COVERS HE STILL DID, HE HEWED TO THE ROCKABILLY SOUND DEVELOPED BY ELVIS PRESLEY AND OTHERS IN AND AROUND MEMPHIS, TN. IN PARTICULAR, HE HAD BECOME A FOLLOWER OF DORSEY BURNETTE, WHO CO-WROTE HIS 1958 HIT "BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY" WITH HIS BROTHER JOHNNY AND TOOK SOLE WRITING CREDIT ON THE ALBUM'S FIRST TWO TRACKS, "IT'S LATE" (SOON TO BE A TOP TEN HIT) AND "ONE OF THESE MORNINGS".
