One More Song is the second solo studio album by former Eagles bass guitarist Randy Meisner. It was released in late 1980, on Epic in the United States, and in the United Kingdom. The album is to date Meisner's most successful album as a solo artist, peaking at number 50, on the US Billboard 200 chart.
The single, "Deep Inside My Heart" featuring Kim Carnes, peaked at number 22 on the US Billboard 100, and the single "Hearts on Fire" peaked at number 19, three months later.[3]
Critical reception
Retrospectively reviewing for AllMusic, critic Mike DeGagne wrote of the album "One More Song highlights Meisner's knack for writing honest, heartfelt love songs with a countrified rock candor that reveals his rustic, down-home roots." and he added that, "One More Song ends up being a pleasurable set of modest songs from a musician who was glad to be home."[4]
