Background and content

Wanda Jackson had been recording for the Capitol label since the 1950s. She began as a Rockabilly artist and later transitioning into country music. In 1971, Jackson and her husband found Christ, which altered her musical direction in the years that followed. She released her first gospel record in 1972, and wished to continue recording gospel material. However, Capitol records rejected her request.

Instead, Jackson was obligated to record another album of country songs. These songs would comprise I Wouldn't Want You Any Other Way.

The project was recorded between January and December 1971 at the Jack Clement Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions were produced by Larry Butler and Bill Walker. I Wouldn't Want You Any Other Way consisted of 10 tracks featuring writing credits by Liz Anderson, Willie Nelson, and Tom T. Hall.

According to the album's liner notes, the project was meant to showcase Jackson's vocal styles on "different kinds of country songs from ecology, to religion, to love." The album also included a cover of "Crazy", originally made commercially successful by Patsy Cline.
