"No Judgement Day", the final track on this compilation, is a hidden track.[3] Written by Allen Shamblin, this song is based on the true story of a shopkeeper in Texas, whose children killed him in search of money.[4]

Several of this album's songs were originally recorded by other artists. "Don't Leave Her Lonely Too Long" was written by Marty Stuart, whose original recording (from his 1990 album Hillbilly Rock) was a number 42 single for him on the country charts in 1989. "She Loves Me (She Don't Love You)" was originally recorded by Conway Twitty, and later by George Strait on his 1990 album Livin' It Up. In addition, the single "I'll Take Today" was originally recorded by Tanya Tucker on her 1994 album Fire to Fire, and by Ty England on his 1996 album Two Ways to Fall.
