          Gail produced and released this, her favorite album, in 1990. Jimmy Bowen, who had been head of Warner Brothers, as well as MCA Records, was now running Capitol/EMI Records. Gail had recorded most of these songs as demoes for her publishing company but when Bowen heard them, he liked them so much that he gave her a budget and the go ahead to turn it into an album. She was also given total control of the project including the finished art work. Gail's old friend, Virginia Team, recommended the photographers and Gail asked for the cover photo to be shot on the roof of the Castle recording studio.
          These songs were some of Gail's all time favorites. She had always regretted not having recorded Too Old To Die Young, which Kevin Welch, the writer and, at the time, guitarist in her band, had played for her in the stateroom of her touring bus years before. She believed another of his compositions, Happy Ever After, was a hit record and asked for it to be released as her first single. But Gail had lost momentum at country radio, having changed her musical identity with Wild Choir, and many of the newer, younger radio programers were unfamiliar with her name and music.
           Her second single, The Other Side Of Love, was released in the same week, and on the same label, as Garth Brooks' single, Friends In Low Places. Needless to say, the release of Gail's single received very little promotion and went virtually unnoticed.
          There were not many copies of this album printed but it still turns up quite often in Europe as the surplus was sold to an overseas distributor. You can contact the vintage record stores like the Great Escape in Nashville and Jack Lawrence Record Shop: 615/256-9240.
