'''''I Could Use Another You''''' is the fifth studio album by American [country music](/source/country_music) singer [Eddy Raven](/source/Eddy_Raven).

The album contains the singles "[I Got Mexico](/source/I_Got_Mexico)", "[I Could Use Another You](/source/I_Could_Use_Another_You_(song))", and "[She's Gonna Win Your Heart](/source/She's_Gonna_Win_Your_Heart)".
==Content and reception==
The album was one of the first production credits for [Paul Worley](/source/Paul_Worley), then primarily known for his work as a session guitarist.[{{cite magazine | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MiQEAAAAMBAJ | title=New looks from old faces | magazine=Billboard | pages=WOCM10 | date=October 13, 1984}}] The album accounted for three singles on the [Hot Country Songs](/source/Hot_Country_Songs) charts: "[I Got Mexico](/source/I_Got_Mexico)", which was Raven's first number 1 hit there, followed by [the title track](/source/I_Could_Use_Another_You_(song)) and "[She's Gonna Win Your Heart](/source/She's_Gonna_Win_Your_Heart)".[{{cite book|last=Whitburn|first=Joel|title=Hot Country Songs 1944 to 2017|publisher=Record Research, Inc|year=2017|pages=293–294|isbn=978-0-89820-229-8}}]
''[Cash Box](/source/Cash_Box)'' magazine described the title track as "an upbeat tune stressing Raven’s clear, distinct vocals."[{{cite journal | url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/80s/1984/CB-1984-06-30.pdf | title=Singles reviews | journal=Cash Box | pages=19 | date=June 30, 1984}}] Writing for ''Stereo Review'' magazine (now known as ''[Sound & Vision](/source/Sound_%26_Vision_(magazine))''), [Alanna Nash](/source/Alanna_Nash) noted that while it had fewer songs written by Raven and a "slightly more mainstream" sound than its predecessors, the album was "well up to his own high standards", while also considering Raven's singing more upbeat and confident than on previous efforts.[{{cite journal | url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-HiFI-Stereo/80s/HiFi-Stereo-Review-1984-10.pdf | title=Popular music | journal=Stereo Review | date=October 1984 | pages=102–103}}]
