McQuaid's mother died in January 2004 which led her to revisit the songs they sang together when she was a child, turning to the Southern Appalachian songs and tunes that she grew up with.^{[citation needed]} The album is accordingly dedicated to her mother.^{[citation needed]}

The album features two original songs alongside covers of folk songs of the US.^[2] It was noted as "a touching album from a genuine artist" by Hot Press.^[3]
