Walking the Wire is an album released by American country music singer Dan Seals. It was his first for the Warner Brothers label (ironically, the same label his older brother, Jim Seals, was once signed with as one half of Seals & Crofts). Three of its four singles charted, which were "Sweet Little Shoe" (peaked at number 62), "Mason Dixon Line" (peaked at number 43), and "When Love Comes Around the Bend" (peaked at number 51).[2] The B-side to "Mason Dixon Line", titled "Be My Angel", was later a non-album single for Lionel Cartwright, peaking at number 63 in late 1992.[3]
