Content

Two new songs were recorded for this compilation, both were released as singles. "Does He Love You", a duet that McEntire recorded with Linda Davis (then a background singer in McEntire's road band), was the first single and turned out to be a smash. It reached number 1 on the country charts. The song also earned them a Grammy award for Best Country Vocal Collaboration as well as the CMA Award for "Vocal Event of the Year". CMT ranked the song at No. 9 on their list of 100 Greatest Duets. "Does He Love You" is the first of three duets featuring Reba and Linda Davis.

The album's other new track was "They Asked About You", which peaked at No. 7 on the country chart.

McEntire produced the album in its entirety, working with Jimmy Bowen on "Walk On" and "Love Will Find Its Way to You", and Tony Brown on all other tracks.
