'''''Labor of Love''''' is the second studio album by American [[country music]] artist [[Radney Foster]]. It was released in 1995 on [[Arista Records]], peaking at #61 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Top Country Albums]] charts and producing three chart singles. It was also his final release for [[Arista Nashville]], although his third album — 1999's ''[[See What You Want to See]]'' — was issued on Arista Austin.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Initially, the album was to have been released in 1994 under the title ''Never Say Die''. However, after lead-off single "Labor of Love" failed to reach Top 40, the album was delayed twice so that it would not interfere with Foster's contribution to a [[Merle Haggard]] tribute album.<ref name="new">{{ cite journal |last=Mansfield |first=Brian |date=April 1995 |title=Willing to Walk: Radney Foster's Soul Searching Labor of Love |journal=New Country |volume=2 |issue=5 |issn= 1086-1076}}</ref> "Willin' to Walk" was issued as the second single in 1995, with its radio edit having been remixed by [[Steve Ripley]] of [[The Tractors]].<ref name="new"/> Closing out the album was "If It Were Me". These three singles peaked at #58, #54 and #59, respectively, on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' country charts.<br />
