One More Last Chance (album)
One More Last Chance was Ray Stevens' eighteenth studio album as well and his second for RCA Records, released in 1981. The front of the album cover shows Stevens dressed in cowboy attire and at a bar with a pretty, flirtatious woman standing at his side. The singles "Night Games" and "One More Last Chance" (unrelated to the later Charley Pride hit and Vince Gill hit songs of the same names) were lifted from this album. The album was a pivot back toward more serious material for Stevens, as he felt that the novelty music he had been recording in the late 1970s was falling out of fashion; he would eventually return to the novelty music in 1984.[1]
