Eddy Arnold’s evolution from a hillbilly singer to a middle-of-the-road pop balladeer was gradual enough that he continued to be identified with country music even when his albums contained not a whit of country. His late-’60s singles often appeared simultaneously on the pop, country, and adult contemporary charts, and his repertoire came to include some surprisingly modern pop songs. His 1969 album Songs of the Young World contains his Top Ten hit “They Don’t Make Love Like They Used To” and inevitable versions of the country-pop hits “Witchita Lineman” and “Little Green Apples.” “Tender Is Her Name,” with its flutes and lazy soul vibe, shows what a short distance Arnold would have had to travel at this stage to turn into a deep-voiced Bobby Goldsboro. In 1973 RCA’s Camden imprint reissued Songs of the Young World under the title I Love How You Love Me. ~ Greg Adams
