The album 'When the Tingle Becomes a Chill' was released in 1976 on MCA Records, marking Loretta Lynn's transition from Decca Records to her new label. Produced by Owen Bradley, the album includes a mix of original songs and covers, with Lynn's composition on the title track standing out.
The lead single, 'When the Tingle Becomes a Chill', peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 1976. Other notable tracks include 'The Pill', a controversial song about birth control that was banned by several radio stations but still became a minor hit.
The album reflects Lynn's traditional country style with honky-tonk influences, and was recorded at Bradley's Barn studios in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. Although it did not achieve the massive success of her earlier work, it is considered a solid album in her late 1970s career.
