Background and release

Cole began work on Little Victories after winning her second Golden Guitar at the 2002 Country Music Awards of Australia. The success of Wild at Heart had meant the label had increased Cole's budget, which enabled Cole and McCormack to gather renown musicians. Cole and McCormack wrote songs together across Australia, including far North Queensland, where he met Graeme Connors and his wife. [2] The album was released to co-incide with the 2003 Country Music Awards.
