Background
Wanda Jackson had become known to audiences through a series of Rockabilly, Country and gospel music audiences through hit singles like "Let's Have a Party", "In the Middle of a Heartache", and "The Box It Came In".[1] By the late 1970s, Jackson had temporarily retreated into domestic life but continued occasionally recording music.[2]
Content
In 1980, businessman Mervyn Conn enlisted Jackson to record for his British-based Deep Sea Music label. Conn explained in the liner notes that Jackson had become "a major artist in U.K. country music" and he felt it fitting to have her be his first artist on the label. A total of ten tracks were recorded for the album, which were cut on May 15, 1980, in Nashville, Tennessee alongside producer Gary S. Paxton. For the project, Jackson re-recorded the songs "Silver Threads and Golden Needles", "Right or Wrong" and "Grandma Sang Off-Key". Original tracks were also featured, including her self-penned "My Umbrella".[3]
