A Matter of Time is the second and final studio album by American country music artist Jason Sellers. Its title track was a Top 40 hit for him on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in 1999. One day after the album's release, Sellers exited BNA Records' roster.[1]
Content
[edit]The track "That's Not Her Picture" was later recorded by John Michael Montgomery on his 2000 album Brand New Me, while "Bad Case of Missing You" would later be recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys on their 2004 album The Journey, from which it was released as a single. "Every Fire" was originally recorded by Shenandoah on its 1994 album In the Vicinity of the Heart. "Golden Ring" is a cover version of the George Jones and Tammy Wynette duet that went to Number One in 1976.[2]
Critical reception
[edit]Philip van Vleck of Allmusic gave the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, saying "It's the uptempo tracks that have made this project an effort that supersedes his first album in every aspect."[2]
