Out Where the Bright Lights Are Glowing is a studio album by American
country music artist
Ronnie Milsap, released in 1981 by RCA Records. The album produced one single, "Am I Losing You", which was a #1 hit for Milsap. The album is a tribute to the late
Jim Reeves, and all songs are covers of Reeves songs, except for two new tunes, which were written about Reeves specifically for this project. The two new songs are "Out Where the Bright Lights are Glowing" and "Dear Friend".
The album reached No. 6 on the Country charts and reached the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 89.
The Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that "Milsap has a stronger voice than did Reeves, and is able to summon forth emotions that Reeves smoothed over."[2]
