Faron Young: Some Kind of Woman (Mercury SRM 1 698 record, MC8 1 698 8-track tape)

Ian Dove, Country Music, June 1974

AH, FARON Young — he just keeps rolling along. Some Kind of Woman is a comfortable album, little experimentation, a cheerful, unassuming reworking of familiar thoughts and enough repetition of heartaches given, hurts still lingering and games that she is still playing to win it a worthy place on the jukebox in the corner bar and grill. (Jukeboxes, incidentally, are responsible for around 40 per cent of sales of country music singles, so that's no bad thing.)
