Act Like Nothing's Wrong is the seventh solo studio album by the American singer-songwriter Al Kooper, recorded and released in 1976. [1]
After the release of his sixth studio album Naked Songs in 1973, Kooper took time off from solo recording to concentrate on his new discovery, Lynyrd Skynyrd. After producing and playing on their first three albums, he resumed his solo recording career in 1976. The resulting album, Act Like Nothing's Wrong was recorded mostly in Southeastern US studios with a wide array of musicians. The album opens with his own funky version of "This Diamond Ring", a song that he co-wrote for Gary Lewis and the Playboys in 1964. The album continues in the “soul-funk” vein with a mix of covers and original compositions. [1] This was Kooper's first and only album for United Artists. It was six years before he recorded his next album, Championship Wrestling. The front cover shows Al Kooper's head superimposed on the body of the dancer and model Linda Hoxit (his girlfriend at the time), while on the back cover is Linda Hoxit's head on Kooper's body.
All tracks composed by Al Kooper; except where indicated

The album features contributions from Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Joe Walsh of the Eagles, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keys, Klaus Voormann, John Sebastian, Flo & Eddie, Spencer Davis, Dick Dale, Suzi Quatro's sister Patti Quatro, Patti's bandmates from Fanny Jean Millington and Nickey Barclay, and future actor Miguel Ferrer.

Rainbow is the 70th album by American country singer Johnny Cash, his last for Columbia Records, released in 1985. "I'm Leaving Now", which was re-recorded 15 years later for Cash's American III: Solitary Man, was released as a single rather unsuccessfully, but the album's signature song is a cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Here Comes That Rainbow Again", which also appeared on Cash's 1995 collaboration with Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings - known as The Highwaymen - entitled The Road Goes on Forever, though it was sung solo by Kristofferson on the latter. Also included is a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?," from Pendulum. The album also includes the song "Love Me Like You Used To," which was later recorded by fellow country singer Tanya Tucker, and became a country hit for her. Following the release of this album and a duet album with Jennings in 1986, Cash moved to Mercury Records as a result of Columbia's fading interest in his music, though he later returned to Columbia for the second Highwaymen album.
