They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
- They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To (also referred to as "They Don't Make 'Em ...") is a 1986 album by Country music superstar Kenny Rogers.
The album was generally regarded among country fans as a huge departure from his usual style. In the sleeve notes of a 2003 CD re-issue it claims this was the reason it didn't fare as greatly on the charts as his previous releases. However, it is fair to point out Rogers had been recording AOR-style songs long before this and enjoyed great success. However, by the time 1986 rolled around new-traditionalists such as Randy Travis and George Strait were competing for chart placings with Rogers and his sound was certainly a far cry from these artists.
With many country fans now going back to roots music, Rogers still had a large fan base and the album sold well enough to go gold, with its strongest chart placing being in the country market, where it hit the top 20. The single "20 years ago" also helped to higher the albums status, itself a #2 hit.
The album's title cut was used as the theme tune to the box office hit movie Tough Guys.
