1988 Barbara Mandrell – I’ll Be Your Jukebox Tonight
I’ll Be Your Jukebox Tonight is the nineteenth solo studio album by American country artist Barbara Mandrell. The album was released in September 1988 on Capitol Records and was produced by Tom Collins. It would be the first of four albums Mandrell released under Capitol.
I’ll Be Your Jukebox Tonight was recorded in May 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Like her previous release for EMI America Records, Mandrell carried over Tom Collins as her producer for the album, with additional production from Fred Foster on “I Wish I Could Fall in Love Today”. The album consisted of 10 tracks. Mandrell’s sound for her 1988 release changed to a more traditional country music approach, similar to many other country artists of the time. The album included a cover version of Wynn Stewart’s 1961 single, “Big, Big Love”, which is the second track on the album. The single, “I Wish That I Could Fall in Love Today” was written by Harlan Howard, who had written songs such as Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces”.
