From the back of the jacket:
This album contains a fantastic variety of musical arrangements and may well become a collectors item as it is the first L.P. by Lonny Roberts and contains practically every single release to date.

The songs contain that special feeling that Lonny always puts into a song plus the results of many hours of arranging which Lonny personally supervised.

"The Bottle Is My Jailer," Lonny's best hit to date, has a modern west coast arrangement while "Loving You" contains the beautiful steel guitar work of the Nashville sound.

The old standard, "Good Old Mountain Dew," is a real treat as it incorporates a unique country-pop arrangement that is probably the first of its kind on the market today. "The Devil And Me," written by Lonny, adds a touch of novelty to the L.P.

"Lonely, Lonely Man" tells the age old story of love gone wrong and depicts the "honky tonk music" sound of today. "I Don't Love You Any More" features a west coast lead guitar arrangement.

Each song is beautifully styled and arranged and will give you many hours of listening pleasure.

Lonny Roberts is one of the nicest guys in the business and I feel greatly honored to have been asked to write the liner notes for this album.

Having played drums on all of Lonny's releases to date, I have been with him through the hard times and the good times and he is always the same nice guy.

Lonny has given many young musicians and entertainers a helping hand in the business and can always be counted on to unselfishly donate his time to any charitable project.

It has been a real pleasure working with Lonny and I wish him^all the luck in the world.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM LONNY ROBERTS
The number of people contributing to this album are much too numerous to mention, but this in no way lessens the gratitude I feel toward them. For the sake of brevity, I am dedicating this, my first L.P., to all my friends, loved ones, and loyal fans. However, I must mention a few very special people without whose confidence, loyalty and personal sacrifice this album would not have been possible.
