The album is the first release of Crowell singing "I Don't Have to Crawl" The Crowell-penned tune was recorded by Emmylou Harris and released in 1981 on her album. Evangeline. Crowell recorded his version in 1984 for what was to be a new album for Warner Bros., Street Language. That album was never released and instead was re-recorded in 1986 for Crowell's new label, Columbia, but without "I Don't Have to Crawl".[3]
