Background, content and reception

Dottie West Sings Sacred Ballads was produced by Chet Atkins in February 1967 at the RCA Victor Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. It was West's sixth studio album recorded with Atkins and her sixth album overall. It was also her first album of gospel music to be released in her career. The album's liner notes were written by West's mother in law. On the project, her husband is featured playing steel guitar.[2] The album contained a total of 12 tracks. All of the tracks were cover versions of well known gospel and inspirational songs. Included were renditions of "How Great Thou Art", "His Eye Is on the Sparrow", "Lord's Prayer" and "You'll Never Walk Alone".[2]
