History

Initially, the album was to have been released in 1994 under the title Never Say Die. However, after lead-off single "Labor of Love" failed to reach Top 40, the album was delayed twice so that it would not interfere with Foster's contribution to a Merle Haggard tribute album. "Willin' to Walk" was issued as the second single in 1995, with its radio edit having been remixed by Steve Ripley of The Tractors. Closing out the album was "If It Were Me". These three singles peaked at #58, #54 and #59, respectively, on the Billboard country charts.
