The album was released in May 1969 by RCA Victor, and represents Dolly Parton's third solo studio album. The title comes from the eponymous song, which became one of her early major hits on the country charts.
The record includes a mix of Parton's original compositions and covers of other artists, such as 'Put It Off Until Tomorrow' by Bill Phillips (which Parton co-wrote) and 'Daddy' (a cover of The Browns' song). Production was handled by Bob Ferguson, who worked closely with Parton in her early years at RCA.
The album reached number 15 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Although it did not produce major hit singles, the song 'In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)' became a minor classic in her repertoire and reflects the narrative, nostalgic style that would characterize her career.
