The album is a tribute to her early influences, aspirations and much loved childhood memories.^[2] The album was recorded in one week. Her husband, Rod McCormack, produced and plays each and every instrument heard on the album.^[3]

Jeffreys said "Mum would always cry when I sang "Crazy" live" (and) ""Blue Bayou" was the first song I sang publicly at age 14 to audition for a band."^[4]

Reception

Susan Jarvis of Country Music Capital News said; "..Just a few minutes in, I was completely captivated. Instead of simply re-hashing songs performed a million times before, Gina and Rod McCormack have breathed new life into these classic songs. With the focus on a real, organic recording, all the warmth, familiarity and love present in Gina and Rod’s home studio comes through. The performances on songs like "You Don’t Know Me", "Dream a Little Dream", "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Smile" are simply exquisite, and you’ll hear these songs as if for the first time. A highlight is her rendition of "Old Paint". Old Paint is an album to be treasured and savoured by country fans everywhere."^[5]
