Country Love Songs is a studio album by American singer Vic Damone, released by Warner Records in July 1965.
Like Damone's prior album You Were Only Fooling, it was produced by Jimmy Bowen. Neither of the two Bowen-produced albums were a commercial success either aesthectically or at the cashbox Bowen's attempts to get undividual members of the Rat Pack back on AM radio at the time.[1]
The album was released on compact disc by Collectables Records on August 12, 2003 as a double album pairing it with Damone's 1965 Warner debut, You Were Only Fooling.[2]
Billboard said Damone retains "the country flavor" of the song selection while enhancing them with his own pop style in "this change of pace album" for the singer.[3]
Cash Box said "the smooth voice of Damone" on this LP brings "plenty of appeal for pop and good music spinners" and "enough attraction to send it soaring up the best seller charts."[4]
The Asbury Park Evening Press said Damone "seems very much out of place in his Nashville musical setting", claiming "the songs sound insipid" and Damone "ridiculous".[5]
