Out Where the Bright Lights Are Glowing


Out Where the Bright Lights Are Glowing is a studio album by American country music artist Ronnie Milsap, released in 1981 by RCA Records. The album produced one single, "Am I Losing You", which was a #1 hit for Milsap. The album is a tribute to the late Jim Reeves, and all songs are covers of Reeves songs, except for two new tunes, which were written about Reeves specifically for this project. The two new songs are "Out Where the Bright Lights are Glowing" and "Dear Friend".
The album reached No. 6 on Billboard's country album chart and No. 89 on its Top LPs chart.
