Mr. Lovemaker is the twelfth studio album by American country music artist Johnny Paycheck. The album was released in June 1973, via Epic Records. It was produced by Billy Sherrill.
Background
[edit]By the time Mr. Lovemaker was released, Paycheck's "second career" at Epic Records was in full swing, producing commercial hits and critical praise. This album followed in the stylistic footsteps of Someone To Give My Love To and Somebody Loves Me, but offered a stronger personal imprint.[1]
Unlike earlier efforts where Paycheck had leaned heavily on outside writers, this album showcased his songwriting abilities alongside material from seasoned Nashville hitmakers like Jerry Foster and Bill Rice.[1]
