          Gail re-recorded her composition of What Can I Say as the title song of this album. Also featured here singing a duet on It's You Alone, is a new (at the time), up and coming artist by the name of Ricky Skaggs. The single, was released just as Gail was leaving the record label so it did not receive much, if any, support. This was Gail's last album for Warner Bros. The company had changed executive heads three times during her stint at the label and she decided it was time to move on. Her production, laden with the Muscle Shoals Horns, was moving farther away from her original commitment to country music and her personal issues (Gail's son, Christopher Scruggs, fathered by songwriter, Gary Scruggs) made the recording process complicated and arduous.
           This album was originally scheduled to be co-produced with Warner Brothers' label head, Jimmy Bowen, but he had been called away to deal with more urgent matters, leaving Gail to produce the album alone and care for her 5 month old baby at the same time. Christopher spent the entire recording process sitting in his car seat on top of the console while his mother and her engineer mixed the album. I guess you could say he was born to be in the studio.
          Though currently out of print, this vinyl LP can still be obtained at vintage record stores like the Great Escape in Nashville or Jack Lawrence Record Shop: 615/256-9240.
