Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano, by Jerry Lee Lewis, not only had a different sound from its predecessor, The Killer Rocks On but it is far more in tune with the smoother, countrypolitan sound that began dominating country radio in the early seventies. She's Reaching for My Mind, Too Many Rivers, and No Traffic Out of Abilene all contain strings and an array of background vocalists as producer Jerry Kennedy attempted to give the tracks as contemporary a feel as possible. Lewis was likely inspired to record Walls Around Heaven because of his mother's death the previous year. The song, in which the singer condemns his own sinful ways, also reflects Lewis's ongoing struggle to come to terms with his faith and his lifestyle which, by all accounts, got more and more out of control as the decade wore on. The title track and No More Hanging On were both released as singles and became Top 20 hits on the US Country Chart.
