Шаблон:Infobox album I'll Need Someone to Hold Me When I Cry is a studio album by American country music artist Janie Fricke. It was released in November 1980 via Columbia Records and contained ten tracks. The disc was a collection of more traditional country songs, a style that Fricke began adapting to after taking a suggestion from a former record producer. It was the fifth studio album issued in Fricke's career and spawned three singles. Both the title track and "Down to My Last Broken Heart" became top five charting singles in the United States. A cover of the song "Pride" reached the top 20.

Background and content

Janie Fricke had been signed as a recording artist to Columbia Records since 1977 but had yet to have a top ten hit. Former producer Billy Sherrill encouraged her to focus on one particular musical style, so Fricke began recording ballads in the early 1980s.[1] Fricke began recording alongside a new producer Jim Ed Norman who recorded next album in August 1980. The sessions were cut at the Audio Media Recorders studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee.[2] I'll Need Someone to Hold Me When I Cry consisted of ten tracks.[3] Three of the album's new songs were composed by Chick Rains. Along with several new recordings was a cover of Johnnie Ray's "Cry" and Ray Price's "Pride".[2]
