Background and content

Stay There 'Til I Get There was recorded in January 1970 at the Columbia Studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions were produced by Glenn Sutton.[2] It was Anderson's first production assignment with Sutton, who also became her first husband. The pair would collaborate frequently during her career at Columbia. Sutton would not only record her but also compose several of her biggest hits.[3][1] Three of the album's songs were penned by Sutton, including the record's title track. Also included was a composition written by her mother, Liz Anderson. Cover versions of songs recorded by other artists are also featured in the album's eleven tracks. Cover versions included Glen Campbell's "Honey Come Back," Ian Tyson's "Someday Soon," Sonny James's "True Love's a Blessing," and Bobbie Gentry's "Fancy."[2]
