Encore

As its title suggests, Encore, John Gary's second RCA album, was a deliberate follow-up to Catch a Rising Star, as it was released only four months after his first album, while that LP was still high in the charts. And it succeeded in that regard, peaking even a little higher and spending almost a year in the charts itself. But it was a slightly more formal, self-conscious collection, its material and musical approach somewhat more conventional.
