This song came about when Loveless and her producer, Tony Brown, were in his office listening through some material for the upcoming album, and trying to find songs. Brown played this song by the writer Lucinda Williams. They liked what they heard and wound up going to hear Lucinda at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville that night. That's when they made the decision to record the song.
The song charted for 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #20 during the week of 8 December 1990.
Blue Memories
Blue Memories was sent to Loveless's producer, Tony Brown by Paul Kennerley for her to listen to. Once she heard this song, after just hearing the chorus kick in, Loveless decided to record it. Loveless was a big fan of Paul Kennerley, and he also wrote "Blue Side Of Town", which was the lead track on her previous album, "Honky Tonk Angel".
The song charted for 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #22 during the week of 20 July 1991.
