If You Want Me (Billie Jo Spears album)

Billie Jo Spears had her biggest commercial success during the 1970s with several top ten singles, including the chart-topping "Blanket on the Ground".

[1] Most of the album's material were new recordings, such as the title track, "Too Much Is Not Enough", "Every Time I Sing a Love Song", "The End of Me" and several others.

[3][7] In the United Kingdom, the album was issued under the name Every Time I Sing a Love Song and some releases featured a different cover art.

"Spears' emotional and sometimes intense vocal style coupled with Larry Butler's production backup that utilizes lots of guitars, strings, steel and drums brings an interpretation of lyrics by some notable songwriters such as Kris Kristofferson, Kenny O'Dell, Kenny Rogers and Geoff Morgan to heights of pleasurable listening," the magazine commented.

[9] Alan Cackett of Country Music People magazine gave it an unfavorable review in 1978: "Too many of the slow ballads, which dominate the album, sink into sameness, as Billie Jo and producer Larry Butler work too closely toward the pop crossover market," he commented.

[11] It became Spears's final single to reach the top ten of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, peaking at number eight.
