## Background and content

When Charley Pride first became successful, his musical style was built on elements of traditional, hardcore country. Yet, as his career progressed and country music changed, his sound progressed toward country pop. This style was reflected on albums in the latter half of the 1970s decade, including Someone Loves You Honey. The album was recorded at the RCA Victor Studio (located in Nashville, Tennessee) in sessions held between 1975 and 1977. The sessions were co-produced by Jerry Bradley and Pride himself. A total of 11 tracks comprised the album. Its songs included a cover of Conway Twitty's two hits, "Georgia Keeps Pulling on My Ring" and "Play Guitar Play." The album also contained original recordings, such as the title track and "Days of Sand and Shovels."
