Background, recording and content
Signed as a folk singer to Capitol Records, Jody Miller's debut album was released in 1963. In 1965, she reached commercial success for the first time with "Queen of the House". The song was a number 12 pop single in the United States and reached the top five on their corresponding country chart.[2] Miller started recording more country material after this. She was inspired to record an album of songs by country singer–songwriter Buck Owens while on tour in Germany. "One day, I got a little lonesome and went out and bought several of Buck's LP's. They loved him in Europe and still do. Each song on this album is just as good as the next. So, I felt like it would be a wonderful thing to do an entire cover album of Buck's songs," she explained on her official website.[3]
