Why Not Me" was a successful release on the Adult Contemporary chart reaching the number one spot.

I'll take another wedding in stride Here's another June wedding I'm sitting on the bride's side again Why do they always have to play that song? You know the one It's funny But we never get to sing along. Her daddy's got her by one arm I used to have her by the other At least until she found another lover And then another. Why not me? We had a real love She just didn't think we could put it all together Why not me? We had a real love But in a flash, shes gone forever

Fred Knoblock (born in 1953 in Jackson, Mississippi) had a short-lived Adult Contemporary hit with the title track from this album, but he's largely forgotten nowadays, which is a shame because this really is a great album. A soft-rock singer in the mold of Dan Fogelberg, his silky, elastic voice and his none-too-subversive subject matter, along with warm, understated backing arrangements, make for a pleasing, wistful listen.
