Background and content

edit

Wanda Jackson released a series of Rockabilly-styled singles and albums during the late 1950s, including the top 40 pop hit "Let's Have a Party". In 1961, Jackson returned to her country music roots and had two top ten hits that year. Throughout the remainder of the 1960s, she became more identified with the country music audience through her various releases.[2] In the mid 1960s, Jackson renamed her touring band The Party Timers. The group was occasionally featured on Jackson's recordings issued through the Capitol label.[3] You'll Always Have My Love was the first Capitol studio album that included the band and they were given equal credit on the LP.[4]

The album included background harmonies from The Party Timers. In addition, Jackson continued performing lead vocals. According to the LP liner notes, its songs were a collection of love songs that "Wanda once again proves more than wonderfully equal to the challenge of singing".[4] A total of 12 tracks were included on the album. Two of the album's recordings were composed by Jan Paxton, which were "Who Do You Go To" and "Half That's Mine". Additionally, Vic McAlpin contributed two tracks to the album, along with Yvonne DeVaney. "My Heart Gets Al the Breaks" was composed by singer and songwriter Justin Tubb.[1] You'll Always Have My Love was recorded at the Columbia Studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee in sessions held between 1966 and 1967. The album was produced by Ken Nelson.[4]
