Step On Out is the 10th country studio album (12th total) from American country music quartet The Oak Ridge Boys, released in 1985. It contains the #1 singles "Touch a Hand (Make a Friend)" and "Little Things", as well as the #3 single "Come On In (You Did the Best You Could Do)". The title song was co-written by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member and former Byrds bass player Chris Hillman and former Crawdaddy magazine editor Peter Knobler. "Staying Afloat" would be covered two years later by Sawyer Brown on their self-titled debut album.
A review in Billboard praised "Ophelia" and "Little Things" as the most interesting songs, while also making note of Chancey's production and the vocal harmonies.[1]
