The disc was originally issued on Virgin Nashville in 2000, minus the tracks "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out" (which was originally cut by David Kersh on his 1998 album If I Never Stop Loving You ) and "Are You Ever Gonna Love Me." After Virgin shut down its country division and Cagle moved to sister company Capitol Nashville in 2001, the album was re-issued with the aforementioned tracks and new album art. [2] The newly added tracks were produced by Chris Lindsey. Jimmy Wayne would later record Are You Ever Gonna Love Me on his 2003 debut album
