Country Classics (Juice Newton album)

Country Classics is a compilation album by country pop singer Juice Newton. It was released by EMI America Records on December 3, 2002.[1] The album comprises four songs taken from her "breakthrough" album Juice (1981), four from her follow-up album Quiet Lies (1982), two each from her pre-Juice albums Take Heart (1979) and Well Kept Secret (1978), and the title song from Come to Me.[2][3][4][5][6] Two songs featured in this compilation, "It's a Heartache" and "Let's Keep It That Way" had hitherto been released only as singles, the latter being Newton's first top 40 country hit.[7]
