The sleeve notes

Jimmy Payne has spent most of his career performing and writing songs in the secular music field, though his roots are buried deep in gospel soil. With his niece, Betty, he started singing in churches, and live radio shows in south-eastern Missouri while still in his teens. He learned at an early age, the power of a gospel song. Twelve of these tracks were originally released in England in 1978 on the Word Label. Due to much response, we decided to re-issue these recordings on CD, along with two new ones. We hope you enjoy this 2003 version.

Bill Holmes and Jimmy Payne produced all tracks except for *1 and *10 which were produced by Jimmy
