Background

[edit]

In October 2014, when it was announced that McEntire had signed with Nash Icon, it was revealed that McEntire had begun working a new album. Eleven tracks had already been produced.[1] When the album's first single "Going Out Like That" debuted on the Hot Country Songs chart, it was said that the album would be released in April 2015.[2] On February 13, 2015, the album's release date, title and track listing were announced.[3] McEntire's wrote on her website, "We've been working on it a long time and we can't wait to hear what you think about it. As you all know, I love looking for songs to record. I've said that many times. Getting to work again with Allison Jones over at Nash Icon Records (part of the Big Machine Label group) was a blast! We listened to thousands of songs to find just the right ones for this album. The album has 12 songs and there will be a Target exclusive version with two extra tracks."[3] The album will also be available on vinyl LP through McEntire's web page. Over 25,000 copies of the album were pre-ordered before the actual release date.

In October 2016, the LP was made available in store at Cracker Barrel locations across the country in special promotion with her new Christmas CD.
