The album included an overdub single in 1980 titled "Always". The song peaked at No. 18 on the US country singles chart that year, and it was a return to prominence for Cline.
AllMusic reports that, "In 1980, Bradley took ten of Cline's master tapes and wiped everything but the original lead vocals, brought in a cast of session folks, backup singers, and string players and remade vintage tunes."[1]
