Rolling Stone premiered one of the songs, "She Used to Love Me a Lot," a solid mid-tempo honky-tonker that has little to do with the slick Urban Cowboy sound popular at the time the song was cut. Cash is in excellent voice, and among the instrumentalists is a young Marty Stuart.

Cash's son John Carter Cash, who is overseeing the album's release, felt the song represented some of the excellent recordings that got lost in the shuffle during Cash's final days with his longtime label Columbia Records (they dropped him in 1986).
