The album consists of covers of many popular old country hits, including several Patsy Cline songs. The only new song featured on the album is "Big Deal", a bouncy honky-tonk single which details a bitter Rimes telling off a friend who's madly in love with and happily dating Rimes' ex.

The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 and at #1 on the Top Country Albums chart. "Big Deal" peaked at #6 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks. The album has been certified Platinum for shipments of one million copies in the United States.
