Background and content

I'll Be Your Jukebox Tonight was recorded in May 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Like her previous release for EMI America Records, Mandrell carried over Tom Collins as her producer for the album, with additional production from Fred Foster on "I Wish I Could Fall in Love Today". The album consisted of 10 tracks. Mandrell's sound for her 1988 release changed to a more traditional country music approach, similar to many other country artists of the time. The album included a cover version of Wynn Stewart's 1961 single, "Big, Big Love", which is the second track on the album. The single, "I Wish That I Could Fall in Love Today" was written by Harlan Howard, who had written songs such as Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces". [1] I'll Be Your Jukebox Tonight was released on a compact disc in 1988 and was also available on LP Record and cassette as well.

I'll Be Your Jukebox Tonight received only two out of five stars by Allmusic . [1]
