Background and recording

Jody Miller had her greatest commercial success when she tailored her career towards the country music market. Under the direction of producer of Billy Sherrill, a series of singles reached the top ten and top 20 of the country charts. This included 1973's "Good News".[1] The song was composed by Sherrill himself, along with George Richey and Norro Wilson. Sherrill produced the track at the Columbia Studio in Nashville in January 1973.[2]

Release, reception and chart performance

"Good News" was released as a single by Epic Records in February 1973. It was backed on the B-side by a cover of Joe Stampley's "Soul Song". It was distributed as a seven-inch vinyl single.[2] It received a positive review from Cashbox magazine in March 1973, which named it among its "Picks of the Week". " As many country songs tend to deal with the pain of lost love, it's even more refreshing to note that her latest is a joyful love song, lushly orchestrated and attractive to pop programmers as well as the country market," the publication wrote.[3]

"Good News" reached the number nine position on the American Billboard Hot Country Songs chart[4] and number nine on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart in 1973.[5] It was Miller's fifth top ten single in her career and among her final top ten singles.[5][4] It was followed in July 1973 by the release of Miller's album, also titled Good News!.[6]
