U.K. COUNTRY PEOPLE NEWS
Juice was featured in the February issue of “Country Music People” a magazine in the United Kingdom. The article is called ‘Juice Newton Queen of Hearts.’ Juice talked about her career.
Juice discussed selecting songs for the “JUICE” album and how she and producer Richard Landis listened to 300 demo songs. She obviously picked the right songs with hits like “Angel of The Morning” and “Queen of Hearts.” When asked about “The Sweetest Thing”, Juice confirmed that Otha Young wrote the song and that they recorded that song twice, once on RCA in the 1970’s and again on the “JUICE” album in 1981. Juice said she felt that the producer at the time Mr. Bones Howe, didn’t capture the song and she didn’t either on the self entitled album Juice Newton & Silver Spur.
When Juice met Richard Landis (producer of many of her albums in the 80’s) she had said that she really wanted to do the song again. Juice felt she captured the song with this new recording. Obviously she did because it became a number one Country Hit. “The Sweetest Thing “ was released to Pop and Country Stations with two sounds. The recording with the pedal steel guitar was sent to Country Stations and the other recording with an oboe was sent to Pop Stations.
Juice also had mentioned in this interview that she is thinking about reviving “What Can I Do With My Heart?” This is another great song that Otha Young has written. It was a top 10 hit in 1986.
Juice wraps up the interview discussing the two loves of her life, her horses and her family.
