When I’m getting ready for a project, Emory Gordy Jr., my husband and producer, sits down with a guitar or similar instrument and I try to make the lyrics “speak.” If you can make a song come off with just your voice and one instrument, or NO instrument at all, then you’ve got a really good song. Adding a bunch of “bells ‘n whistles” to a bad lyric isn’t going to make it any better. It’s very simple - the song has to be “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” for it to work. Country music is all about the song. God bless the writers who poured their hearts out for me. God bless the musicians, singers, and engineers who gave me all they had…and then some." Loveless said this album succeeds in mixing all of the genres she was influenced by, including country, rockabilly, bluegrass, blues and rock. For three weeks in December 2004, during the recording of the album, Loveless lost her voice completely due to what she says was a virus in her vocal cords. She was helped by the Vanderbilt Voice Clinic in Nashville, which she thanks in the new album's liner notes. She recorded the album in two batches: an electric session and an acoustic one, and Loveless and her producers—Gordy and Justin Niebank—divvied up the songs they thought were appropriate for each. Highlights Never Ending Song of Love This was recorded a duet with fellow Pikeville, Kentucky native Dwight Yoakam. The original version of “Never Ending Song of Love” was recorded by Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett as a rock/soul song (It was Billboard's #67 top 100 pop single of 1971). According to Loveless, when she and her husband were doing the pre-production, Loveless wanted to capture that same energy, and she instantly thought of Dwight Yoakam as a duet partner for the song. It is the second time that they have recorded together. They had previously recorded "Send a Message to My Heart" on Yoakam's album If There Was a Way, released in 1992. Dreamin' My Dreams with You The album's title song was recoded by Loveless in memory of Waylon Jennings. It was written by record producer-songwriter Allen Reynolds and was originally recorded in 1975 by both Jennings (on his album Dreaming My Dreams) and Crystal Gayle (on her album Somebody Loves You) when Reynolds was Gayle's record producer. Big Chance This song was written by Loveless and her husband/producer Emory Gordy, Jr. According to Loveless, ".. It seems like we spend the first part of our lives leaving and the second part going back. “Pretty Little Miss” (cut #8 on my Mountain Soul project) is wearing out that first part about leaving home. When we last heard from her she was arguing with her momma, “….he’s gonna marry me when I turn twelve this summer.” This time she’s a little older - around 14 or so and definitely wants out of that “holler.” She’s got the ‘burning itch to get hitched.’ She’s found her ticket outta there - her “Big Chance!” The problem is, momma and daddy keep running off them boys from down ‘round Shelby Gap. What’s a girl to do?..." When I Reach the Place I’m Going Loveless has always tried to record at least one spiritual song on each of her albums. According to her, "...this song was originally written about a very young girl who was dying of cancer. What I look for in a song like this is a lyric/melody combination that is all encompassing -- sad yet therapeutic. I think that when you address something you can’t handle -- something that’s just too big and painful to make sense of, you meet it head on and in the process it can be cathartic and healing. I dedicate this song to the memory of my mother-in-law and close friend, Christie Gordy McLendon. God always has a special place for everyone, especially people as wonderful as she was...." This track was originally recorded by Wynonna Judd on her debut album. According to Loveless, there is very little you can write about a relationship that hasn’t already been said. But a really good writer like Richard Thompson will give you a brand new perspective…one of those, “I’ve always felt this way but could never wrap words around the feelings so concisely.” The message is “It must be all or nothing,” and most of us can relate to those feelings when it comes to relationships. “Keep Your Distance” is very simple, yet very effective. It’s also a good musical introduction to the rest of the album. It’s a cross between the ‘raucous rock’ and the ‘mountain soul’ that she enjoys singing. Read more on Last.fm.
