Juice is the million selling plus sixth studio album and third solo album by American country rock singer Juice Newton. The album was released in February 1981 by Capitol Records and was her first major success.
Newton covered the 1968 Merrilee Rush hit at the suggestion of Steve Meyer, who promoted Capitol Records product to radio stations and felt it would be a strong candidate to attain airplay for Newton.[3]
Two versions of the album exist. Early releases feature the original pedal steel guitar-heavy country version of "The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)," subsequently replaced by the more pop-friendly remix that was issued as a single. Early editions have Newton's name in blue outlined letters on the front of the jacket. Later editions with this remix have the artists name with the lettering filled in with cream or off white.
Awards
Juice garnered Newton two "Best Female Vocalist" Grammy Award nominations (in the pop and country categories, respectively). She lost out to Lena Horne and Dolly Parton but won a Grammy for her follow-up studio album Quiet Lies (1982).
