"Let's Keep It That Way" is the 12th studio album by Anne Murray, released in February 1978. On the Canadian charts the album topped both the country and pop album charts. In the U.S., the album returned Murray to the top ten on the country album charts, a place she had not been since 1974's Highly Prized Possession; on the pop album charts, the album reached #12 (it would ultimately be the highest charting album of Murray's career on the pop album charts). Two singles were released from the album: first, a cover of the Everly Brothers' hit "Walk Right Back", which reached #4 on the U.S. country singles charts. The second single released, "You Needed Me", would ultimately become one of the biggest hits of Murray's career, topping all three Canadian charts; in the U.S. it reached #1 on the U.S. pop singles charts (becoming Murray's sole chart-topper on the Hot 100 charts), as well as #4 on the country singles charts, and #3 on the A/C charts. This track was also included in the UK issue of her next album, New Kind of Feeling. In addition to the two singles, the title track received substantial Adult Contemporary airplay as an album cut. "Let's Keep It That Way" was covered by Juice Newton, and it became her first Top 40 country hit (#37) in 1979. "You Needed Me" won Anne the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Mac Davis would later record the title song, "Let's Keep It That Way", taking his version to the top ten on the U.S. country singles chart in 1980. The album's cover photo was taken by Murray's then-husband, Bill Langstroth.
~Wikipedia
Let's Keep It That Way is a decent record. It has quality songwriting, and Anne Murray has a strong voice. The only hurdle is the soft rock production. This record has too much gloss, but the songs are great. If the Eagles did "Let's Keep It That Way," it would never have been dismissed as fluff. This album also features the Carpenters-esque "You Needed Me." This is a classic guilty pleasure record, but it shouldn't be; it's too good.
