"This Woman and This Man"

Divorces sucks! I really don't know it by experience, except as a kid, but, that's pretty much what this man tries to tell his women before he signs the paper she wanted him to. Begging she take the chance one more time, before everything becomes final. "This Woman and This Man" was something a lot of people have gone through back in the mid-90s. Co-Written by Jeff Pennig and Michael Lunn, the single provided Clay Walker his second #1 off the album, If I Could Make a Living, and spend 2 weeks as #1 starting week of March 18, 1995.

If I Could Make a Living was Clay Walker 2nd album since his start in 1993. The album was released on September 27,1994, and released 3 singles. Two became # 1, the self-titled track, and "This Women and This Man", with the 3rd single peaking at #16, "My Hear Will Never Know". "If I Could Make a Living" has a legendary country music artist as a co-writer, Alan Jackson. Which gave Clay Walker his 4th #1 hit single out of 6.

Jeff Pennig written/co-written a lot of great songs starting back in the early 1980s. Some of the well known country single were, "Killin' Time" by Fred Knoblock and Susan Anton (1980, no not the same one as Clint Black), "Them Good Ol' Boys Are Bad" by John Schneider (1981), "If It Ain't Love" by Lacy J. Dalton (1985), and Hal Ketchum 1995's, "Veil of Tears". Just to name a few.

Michael Lunn was Jeff Pennig partner in writing Clay Walker # 1 sing, "This Woman and This Man", but has also written/co-written other songs as well. Such as, "Love Needs a Fool" found on Chris LeDoux 1994 album, Haywire. From what can be known about Lunn, is he started playing the guitar at age 12, and it wasn't until 1994 when he decided to focus his songwriting chance with the Nashville market. before hand, he wrote for Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, Johnny Lang, etc. Afterward, his songs can be found recorded by Brooks & Dunn, Sammy Kershaw, Diamond Rio, etc.

Clay Walker did go hiatus for awhile, but came back years later. Seems a lot of 90s  artist are making a comeback, or at least attempting. some have already such as Clay Walker and Garth Brooks. That's a story for next time. Until then, farewell.
