By the mid-seventies, Lewis was as big a country music legend as he was a rock and roll icon, and songwriters provided him with compositions that played up to the myth of "the Killer." "A change came over many of Lewis's later Mercury recordings," observes Colin Escott in the liner notes to the 2006 box set A Half Century of Hits. "He found songwriters who understood his feelings, and he in turn etched himself indelibly on their words. Mack Vickery's 'That Kind Of Fool' elicited one of Lewis’s most brutal performances. The regret was almost palpable. In June 1975, Lewis arrived at Mercury’s Nashville studio with his voice almost shot. Kris Kristofferson's keyboard player, Donnie Fritts, had written a song especially for him, 'A Damn Good Country Song.' Lewis turned in an artlessly affecting performance. As always, the remorse was tempered with arrogance."
