In this episode, we're featuring a 1976 album from master songwriter Mel Tillis: "Heart Healer". After having made himself a name as one of the finest wordsmiths in the country music field, and having written massive hits for Ray Price, Webb Pierce and Bobby Bare - it's nice to see this Tampa, Florida native get some recognition on his own. Having had to overcome a nasty stutter brought on by a childhood battle with malaria - Tillis fills this album with country music gold. From the heartbreaking "Someone Else Tends The Garden" and "The Morning After Baby Let Me Down", to the triumphant "Play It Again, Sam" and the hit title track in "Heart Healer" - this album travels the rollercoaster that is life, and that is what good country music is all about.
