The Strong One is the second studio album by the American country music artist Mila Mason, released in 1998 on Atlantic Records.[2] Like her debut album, it was produced by Blake Mevis.[3]
Her second and final album for the label, it produced two minor chart hits on both the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts and the Canadian RPM Top Country Tracks charts. The first, "Closer to Heaven", was a #31 in the US and #45 in Canada, while "The Strong One" was a #57 in the US and a #30 in Canada. The third single, "This Heart", failed to chart in either country, and by the end of 1998, Mason had exited Atlantic.
