The Object of My Affection is the second album by the country music singer Faron Young, released in 1958 via Capitol Records. [2] The album contains country versions of many of the popular standards that Young sang as a teenager. [3]
Buck Owens, Young's guitarist, wanted to sing on the album. Young declined the request, because he feared losing Owens to a solo career, but eventually helped to sign him after listening to a demo. [2]
Critical reception
Billboard wrote that the album included "pretty standards ... done up with poppish, slightly rocking backings." [4]
