Wherever You Are Tonight
Wherever You Are Tonight is the fourth studio album released by American country music singer Keith Whitley. It was the second posthumous album of his career. The album consists of ten songwriter demos that Whitley had recorded. His vocal was the only track kept from those original demos. All new music arrangements were written by Ron Oates to renew and dynamically support Whitley's vocals.[2] The album was released via BNA Records, the label to which Whitley's widow, Lorrie Morgan, was signed at the time. "Wherever You Are Tonight" peaked at #75 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in 1995. "Light at the End of the Tunnel" was originally recorded by John Anderson on his 1988 album, 10.
