The album's only single, "Daddy Come and Get Me", peaked at number 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

Recording sessions for the album began on September 4, 1969, at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee.

Included is "Down from Dover", a song about the misfortune of a pregnant unwed girl, who waits in vain for the baby's father while being shunned by her parents.

The latter is a haunting tale, co-written with Dorothy Jo Hope, Parton's aunt, about a woman begging her father to release her from the mental institution that her cheating husband placed her in.

The liner notes for the album were written by Parton’s assistant, friend and confidante, Judy Ogle.

In a CMT interview with Patty Loveless, Parton joked that it was about the funniest album cover she had ever made, with the largest collar she could find.

The album's only single, "Daddy Come and Get Me", was released in December 1969[1] and debuted at number 67 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated January 21, 1970.

Teeing off this set with her current single, Dolly goes on to sing a host of strong tunes, most of which are her own compositions.
