'Out Of The Cradle' deserved far more recognition and success than it received, but to say that the promotion behind it stunk, isn't very accurate.
They released
four singles to radio, some of which featured special mixes to help make them even more radio-friendly... they filmed
four promo videos... Lindsey appeared on Lettermen (twice), Leno (twice), Live with Regis & Kathy Lee, ABC In Concert, PBS, and VH1... there were multiple print ads that ran in magazines like Rolling Stone... Lindsey toured (even opened for Tina Turner for a while!)... and so on.
That is a pretty big promotional blitz for an album that peaked at #128 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart.
