1990 Baillie and the Boys – Lights of Home
The Lights of Home is the third album by country music group Baillie & the Boys. It rose to the number 35 position in the Billboard Country Albums chart in 1990. The singles hits were the number 23 “Perfect,” the number 5 “(Now and Then There’s) A Fool Such as I” (which was a remake of the classic Elvis Presley standard) and the number 18 “Treat Me Like a Stranger.” This was also their first album as a duo, and their final album for RCA Records.
Baillie & the Boys is an American country music group that gained prominence in the late 1980s. The band’s original lineup consisted of Kathie Baillie (lead vocals, guitar), her husband, Michael Bonagura (guitar, harmony vocals), and Alan LeBoeuf (bass guitar, harmony vocals). Not including Kathie Baillie’s solo recordings, Baillie & the Boys have recorded five studio albums and charted ten Top-40 singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts (between 1987 and 1991).
