Background

Diamond in the Rough was issued as Colter's second studio album in 1976, containing ten new tracks, which included a cover of The Beatles's "Hey Jude". The album only spawned one single released in 1977, titled "I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name", which peaked at #29 on the Hot Country Songs chart. The song's B-side, "You Hung the Moon (Didn't You Waylon)", was also released as a single, however it failed to chart. Diamond in the Rough peaked at #4 on the Top Country Albums chart (Colter's third album in a row to do so), while also reaching #79 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album was co-produced by Colter's husband, country music artist Waylon Jennings, who also produced her previous two albums.
