It's no wonder Mel Tillis was one of the top country stars of the '70s -- his albums are so consistently good they're like islands of quality in a singles-oriented field. Even when he writes none of the songs, as is the case with Me and Pepper, his acuity in selecting top-notch material is commendable. Me and Pepper was his first album for Elektra and boasts two Top Ten hits, the excellent "Blind in Love" and the cheating ballad "Lying Time Again."

It's no wonder Mel Tillis was one of the top country stars of the '70s -- his albums are so consistently good they're like islands of quality in a singles-oriented field. Even when he writes none of the songs, as is the case with Me and Pepper, his acuity in selecting top-notch material is commendable. Me and Pepper was his first album for Elektra and boasts two Top Ten hits, the excellent "Blind in Love" and the cheating ballad "Lying Time Again." The album tracks are so strong that any number of them could have been hits as well. There isn't a bad track in the bunch, but "All My Love" and "Let Me Be the Keeper" (which sounds like Paul Overstreet if he wrote a cheating song) are particularly promising in that regard. Jimmy Bowen's production avoids the trendy touches that would date the album today, so it sounds fresh and agreeable decades later, with the possible exception of the keyboard sounds that substitute for strings in the arrangements. The title refers to Tillis' horse, Pepper, who is pictured on the cover with Mel astride. Incidentally, Mel's daughter Pam Tillis contributed background vocals. ~ Greg Adams, Rovi
