The album's release garnered the attention of label executives and disc jockeys, including disc jockey, Bill Mack , who was fascinated by Rimes' Patsy Cline -styled voice. Mack then began to cultivate a plan to make Rimes a mainstream Country music artist. Between the years 1992 and 1994, Rimes continued to release albums under independent labels that failed gaining any type of success in the Country music world. By then her family had relocated to Garland, Texas. She began honing her skills as a country artist performing on Johnnie High’s Country Music Revue in Ft.
