Recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, this album continues Jerry Lee Lewis's exploration of country music, with a polished sound and string arrangements. The title references Interstate 40, which connects Memphis to Nashville.
Produced solely by Lewis, the album includes covers of contemporary country hits, such as 'Middle Age Crazy' and 'What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)'. It was released in 1974 by Mercury Records.
Although it did not reach major charts, the album is appreciated by country rock fans. Lewis's vocal performance and piano stand out on tracks like 'She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye'.
