The #6 hit "You Will" was originally recorded by Anne Murray as the title track of her 1990 album.  The only single to not make the top ten was the #20 hit "Nothin' But The Wheel", considered by many Patty fans to be one of her finest works.  The album peaked at #9, and was certified platinum for shipments of over 1,000,000 copies in the U.S.  This album was Loveless' first album since she had surgery to repair burst nodes on her vocal cords in 1992.

Loveless also did a cover of the Lone Justice song, "Don't Toss Us Away", which featured Rodney Crowell on backing vocals.  The song charted at #5.

Since her emergence on the country music scene in late 1986 with her first (self-titled) album, Loveless has been one of the most popular female singers of neotraditional country.  She has also recorded albums in the country pop and bluegrass genres.  Loveless was born in Pikeville, Kentucky, and raised in Elkhorn City, Kentucky, and Louisville, Kentucky.  She rose to stardom thanks to her blend of honky tonk and country-rock and a plaintive, emotional ballad style.
