Florida-born Hank Locklin was one of the great soft crooners of the Nashville Sound era of countrypolitan pop. Like many of his contemporaries he had more rural roots, playing melodic honkytonk in his youth, but veering towards a more "sophisticated" sound in the late 1960s. "My Love Song for You" is an excellent collection of country ballads highlighted by "Danny Boy", "Longing to Hold You Again", "I Came So Close to Living Alone", and the hit single "Lovin' You (The Way I Do)".
