Album of the Day

A successful Nashville songwriter before stepping into the spotlight himself, Eddie Rabbitt was one of the most progressive crossover artists in country music, crafting melodic and memorable records that pop and rock listeners also found irresistible. The 17 tracks on Rhino's NUMBER ONE HITS collection were all over the radio in the 1970s and '80s for good reason, and songs like “Step By Step,” “Drivin' My Life Away” and “I Love A Rainy Night” are still guaranteed to put a smile on listeners' faces. Eddie Rabbitt passed away on this day in 1998, and we remember the talented performer with the most comprehensive single-disc survey of his music, NUMBER ONE HITS.
