Billie jo spears blanket on the ground
Blanket on the Ground is the seventh studio album by country singer Billie Jo Spears, released in 1974 on the United Artists label. It reached #4 in the US country charts, with the title track reaching #1 on the Billboard country chart and #78 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Blanket on the Ground” is an example of a country record succeeding in the American charts and subsequently crossing over to the pop listings.

Billie Jo herself had gone through a period of transition since originally recording with United Artists and producer Kelso Herston in the late ‘sixties. This was her first album since 1971 and covers a gamut of songs from her own smash hit to a reworking of “See the Funny Little Clown”, the ballad which marked Bobby Goldsboro’s own initial chart single for United Artists in 1964.
