When singer/guitarist Kathy Mattea's single "Street Talk" entered the Billboard country chart in October 1983, the time had come for the 24-year-old West Virginia native to leave waitressing behind, and after that Top 30 hit was followed by another chart single, "Someone Is Falling in Love," Mercury Records could justify the release of Mattea's self-titled debut album. There isn't anything on it that has quite the drive of the nearly disco-tinged "Street Talk" (which, naturally, leads off the LP), and most of the songs, a fairly representative sampling of Nashville formula country writing, make the singer more of a victim and less of a feisty character than the woman who fought back against her bad reputation. on her hit. A good example is "You've Got a Soft Place to Fall," in which Mattea sings that she'll continue to take back a straying boyfriend yet again. It was released in 1984 (see 1984 in country music ) on Mercury Records. Kathy Mattea was honored as a member of the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame 2011 class of inductees and she is the recipient of the Minnie Pearl Humanitarian Award, as well as the Harvard AIDS Institute Leadership Award. The project included Garth Brooks, Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, in The Encyclopedia of Country Music.
