The sessions were produced by Owen Bradley, Anderson's longtime musical collaborator. It was Anderson's twenty second album project and the twenty second to be recorded with Bradley. The album's title was derived from a nickname given to Anderson early in his career.

The additional four track were written by others. The track, "Country Song", was written by Jack Clement, a Nashville music producer.
