Flower of Love is a compilation
Background, release and reception
Flower of Love featured songs Anderson originally released while recording for Chart Records in the 1960s. Most of the songs included on the compilation are cover versions of the originals by other artists. Examples of this include the title hit by Leon Ashley, Connie Smith's "Once a Day," Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man," Dottie West's "Paper Mansions" and Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee." In the original recording sessions, these songs were produced by Slim Williamson, Anderson's longtime producer at Chart.[2] A total of ten tracks were included on the album. Anderson's mother, Liz Anderson, was the composer of "Lie a Little" and a "Penny for Your Thoughts."[1]
