Stepping Stone (album)

Stepping Stone is the fourth studio album by American country music artist Lari White. Released on July 28, 1998 as her first album for Lyric Street Records after leaving RCA Nashville. The album's title track was a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in mid-1998; "Take Me" and "John Wayne Walking Away" were also released as singles.

The track "Only God Could Stop Me Loving You" was originally recorded by Billy Ray Cyrus on his 1994 album Storm in the Heartland. Canadian country music band Emerson Drive would later record the song for their 2002 debut album Emerson Drive and release it as a single. "You Can't Go Home Again (Flies on the Butter)" was later recorded as "Flies on the Butter (You Can't Go Home Again)" by Wynonna and Naomi Judd on Wynonna's 2003 album What the World Needs Now Is Love, from which it was released as a single.
