Background and recording
After over a decade at Columbia Records and eight number one country hits, Janie Fricke moved to Intersound Records in the early 1990s.[1] Her first release for the label was a 1991 eponymous album.[2] Following its release, Fricke moved to the label's subsidiary company Branson Entertainment. The label was designed specifically for country artists who were performing in Branson, Missouri, an American city where veteran artists could perform concerts to fans.[3]
Fricke was a frequent performer of Branson, Missouri and often included gospel selections in her concert set. Fans of her Branson performances encouraged Fricke to record an album of gospel material which prompted the creation of Crossroads: Hymns of Faith.[4] The album was recorded at the Chelsea Studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The album was the first in Fricke's career to be self-produced. It also featured Ed Keeley as an executive producer on the project.[5]
