I lived with my headphones on, studying the songs and preparing my interpretations." These singers are so wonderful and unique - I really wanted to be on my game. So that was interesting, to let the individual artist pick the song, almost like they do on their record.

She followed Juice with Quiet Lies (1982), an album that brought her two more hits, " Love's Been a Little Bit Hard on Me" and " Break It to Me Gently", of which the latter earned her the Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance, Female.

Juice Newton began her recording career in 1975 but did not achieve major stardom until the release of her 1981 album Juice. A later edition featuring two extra tracks is available only from iTunes.
