AllMusic[4]

Pictures is the eighth studio album by American country music artist John Michael Montgomery. It was also his first full-length album for Warner Bros. Records, following the closure of Atlantic Records' country division in 2001. The track "'Til Nothing Comes Between Us", the first single, was a top 20 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart in 2002. "Four Wheel Drive" and "Country Thang" were also released as singles, although neither reached the top 40. "It Goes Like This" is a collaboration with the band Sixwire, who at the time were also on Warner Bros. Records. Their lead singer, Steve Mandile, co-wrote the track.

Background

Montgomery said in a Billboard interview, "It took longer to make this album than it had many albums in the past. It's like starting all over again. You have to take your time. It seems like you're taking two steps forward and one step back."[5]
