Jypsi was formed in 1994 in Galena, Illinois by sisters Amber-Dawn, Lillie Mae, and Scarlett Rische, along with  their brother, Frank. After several years of playing locally, the band was discovered in 2000 by Cowboy Jack Clement, a record producer from Nashville, Tennessee. In 2007, they were signed to Arista Nashville.

"I Don't Love You Like That," its follow-up, reached a peak of 38 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs charts.

This album includes the song "Now That's All Right with Me," previously released by Mandy Barnett on her 1996 self-titled debut. "Country Standard Time" gave the album a favorable review, with reviewer John Lupton saying, "Though it takes a little while to get it going, their self-titled debut demonstrates that there is indeed some substance to the [attractive] image as well." Lead singer Lillie Mae Rische made a guest appearance on the track "God Knows Who I Am" on Montgomery Gentry's 2008 album "Back  When I Knew It All". The group's third single, "Mister Officer," was released in August 2009. It was also made into the band's first music video, directed by Roman White. Bobby Peacock of Roughstock.com said "Lillie Mae Rische's vocals gives a youthful, energetic performance that helps sell the song." Juli Thanki of Engine 145 gave it a thumbs-up, saying "Despite its shortcomings—and there are a few—'Mr. Officer' is bursting at the seams with carefree, youthful exuberance and bright three-part harmony." "Mister Officer" peaked at 52. The Jypsi Band was featured on an episode of  Gene Simmons Family Jewels on August 9, 2009.
