Right Hand Man is the seventh studio album by American country music singer Eddy Raven. It was released in 1986 by RCA Records.

Content and reception

[edit]

Four singles from the album made the Hot Country Songs charts: "Sometimes a Lady", the title track, "You're Never Too Old for Young Love", and "Shine, Shine, Shine", the last of which made it to the number 1 position on that chart in 1987.[1]

Alanna Nash wrote in Stereo Review that the album seemed to focus more on Raven's singing over his songwriting, noting that the album had more of a country pop sound than its predecessors.[2]
