On his second album for Columbia, Ray further fine-tuned his pure country approach. "When I first sang country music in the ‘60s," Ray said, "I had lots of strings and a chorus of singers. This time I wanted to do more down home pure country, with the real Nashville cats in the studio. I wanted to hear those crying steel guitars."
