Morton Downey, Jr. Sings was an album by talk show host Morton Downey, Jr. released in 1989.[1][2][3][4]

When released it had advanced orders of more than 500,000 copies.[2]

Reception

The Los Angeles Times called it the worst album of the 1980s.[1]

The New York Times said, "Mr. Downey's singing is in the gruff country mode of Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson but lacks the emphatic firmness of tone and pitch that gives even spoken monologues by those singers an underlying sense of musical cadence. Morton Downey Jr. Sings is anything but subtle."[2] The New York Times also said the music qualified as country-pop.[2]
