This has a bit of a country-flavoured tinge and has that low-fi goodness. I enjoyed it, especially when the backing singers get to go off on their own.
Bobby Edwards (1926-2012) was from Anniston, Alabama. "You're The Reason" reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on the US country chart. He released two other singles, making it to #71 on the Billboard Hot 100 with one and #23 on the US country chart with the other.
After this, Edwards operated a small recording studio and recorded some gospel albums before retiring from the music business in 1972 and returning home to raise a family. "You're The Reason" was covered by John Fogerty in 1972 on his Blue Ridge Rangers album; it's not really a good match for his voice.
