"The Tingle of Love" is a description of how I (Mark Lightcap) felt when I met the love of my life. I had never had much luck finding the "right person" with whom to share my life. When I met the lady who would transform my bleak world into a world of wonder it was just like the song says: "The moment your eyes locked onto mine, I could feel the rusty gates of love open wide."

At the time I was working with an amazing female vocalist by the name of Lisa Clydesdale. She had a voice unlike any I heard on the radio, with a sound all her own, and it was spectacular. I decided to rewrite the lyric from a female perspective so she could sing it.

Lisa nailed the first take! I remember saying, "There's no need to record any additional lead vocal tracks; you can't improve upon perfection!"

I brought in Steve Valine, a pedal steel musician, to give it that Traditional Country feel while I played the acoustic guitar. Later I overdubbed a Fender Telecaster part. It was a fun record to make and it checked all the boxes needed to make it a staple of Country & Western fans.
