In an interview, Gayle expressed that this album was “a labor of love.”

“This wasn’t a stretch at all. This project is a labor of love that my son, Christos, and I produced together. It is filled with country classics that I grew up singing. They are very much a part of my history and I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. I feel very lucky to have known and worked with many of the artists who had the original hits.”
