"He's a Heartache " is a song written by Jeff Silbar and Larry Henley, and recorded by American country music artist Janie Fricke.

"Tell Me a Lie" is a 1974 song by Sami Jo Cole, later covered by American country music artist Janie Fricke. The song had been originally recorded and released during the 1970s by country recording artist Lynn Anderson. It was released on Anderson's You're My Man album, which featured her number 1 hit single "You're My Man." However, because of the big success of "You're My Man", "Tell Me a Lie" was never released as a single by Anderson, probably because she had other songs that she'd wanted to release as singles. The song's co-writer, Barbara Wyrick, also recorded it.
