Album information

The album was released in the beginning of 1972, debuting on the Billboard 200 albums chart at #96 on the issue date of February 26 and then reached at #14 on April 29.[3][4]

The title track was a top ten hit, reaching #7 on the US Hot 100 chart, and a #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The next single, "A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done" also became a top ten hit, reaching #8 on the US Hot 100. Its top 40 follow-up single, "When You Say Love", was not taken from this LP but its B-side "Crystal Clear/Muddy Waters" was.

The album is largely a collection of cover songs including "More Today Than Yesterday" (originally by The Spiral Starecase) and "United We Stand". The only song performed by Bono solo was "You Better Sit Down Kids", which was previously a top ten solo hit by Cher.
