The album sees Turner covering songs previously recorded by Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Olivia Newton-John, James Taylor and Dolly Parton and more. While it garnered her a Grammy Nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female in 1974, it was not a commercial success and did not chart. Her second solo album Acid Queen released the following year saw Turner taking her first steps towards a more rock-oriented repertoire.
Tina Turns the Country On! remains unreleased on CD. The album should not be confused with budget CD compilations such as Tina Turner Sings Country, Soul Deep, Country My Way, Good Hearted Woman, Country In My Soul, Stand By Your Man, Country Classics, You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man, The Country Side of Tina Turner etc. which feature material from the archives of Bolic Sound Studios.
