          After the release of Gail's last Capitol/EMI album, Jimmy Bowen, now head of Liberty Records, offered her a position with the label as Nashville's first female staff producer. She accepted and was assigned to produce a talented, 15 year old singer named Mandy Barnett. Gail recorded an album's worth of material on Barnett, searching for a style that would fit her, but none of these recordings were ever released. A number of the songs she chose became #1 hits for other artists and A Simple I Love You, appeared on Mandy's debut Asylum album.
          Gail stayed with Liberty records for three years then, after a plethora of disappointments, moved to the suburbs of Nashville and quit the music business. It had been almost ten years since her last tour with RCA recording artists, Wild Choir. She had performed once during that time at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1993 and found that she missed singing.
          In 1994, manager/promoter, Sharon Eaves, asked Gail if she would like to do an acoustic, songwriter tour of Europe with a show called Nashville Unplugged. Also included on the tour were Lionel Cartwright, Rob Crosby and Michael Johnson. The Swiss promoter, Roger Lehman, had asked specifically for Gail to be included in the lineup. She agreed to go, providing she could take her son, Chris, along.
          While performing at a festival in Bern, Switzerland, Gail met a young, British musician Rob Price who was playing bass for England's #1 country group, The Stu Page Band. There was an immediate attraction between the two but after returning to Nashville, Gail wrote and said she did not want him to contact her and that she was quite happy with her life as it was.
           Gail began writing as soon as she returned from Europe and half of the songs on this album were written about Rob. She decided, rather than deal with the major labels again, to re-finance her house and record her new songs on her own label, Little Chickadee Productions. She called the album Eclectic because it contained a potpouri of songs she had written over the years that did not fit the country format she had been recording in. The response from the press was so overwhelming that Gail said she was literally dragged, kicking and screaming, back into the music business. Eclectic was chosen by Tower Pulse magazine as one of the Ten Best Country Albums of the Year.
          The following summer, Gail and son, Chris, traveled to England to promote her new CD. She was asked by Craig Baguley, editor of Country Music People magazine in London if she would like to sing with one of the local English country bands so that he could review her performance. The bass player in the band was, once again, Rob, whom she'd met in Switzerland the previous year. They were married a month later (August 11, 1995) in Leeds, England.
