  1. Good evening!

    To complete your discography of Sam Neely:

    First album was called "Long Road To Texas". After he got a little success with "Loving You Just Crossed My Mind" they took the album back and re-named it. They also changed two songs of the album.

    So the orignal album had these tracks:
