Right Hand Man is the seventh studio album by American country music singer Eddy Raven. It was released in 1986 by RCA Nashville.
Content and reception
Four singles from the album made the Hot Country Songs charts: "Sometimes a Lady", the title track, "You're Never Too Old for Young Love", and "Shine, Shine, Shine", the last of which made it to the number 1 position on that chart in 1987.[1]
Alanna Nash wrote in Stereo Review that the album seemed to focus more on Raven's singing over his songwriting, noting that the album had more of a country pop sound than its predecessors.[2]
