The nostalgically themed title track was first recorded by
folk singer
Joan Baez for her 1992 studio album Play Me Backwards, to whom Carpenter first pitched the song during a joint concert appearance before she recorded it herself. It was also featured in the 1995 film Bye Bye Love. Carpenter earned two
Grammy Awards in 1995 for her work on the album:
Best Country Album and
Best Female Country Vocal Performance (for "Shut Up and Kiss Me"), the fourth straight year she won the latter category. In 2006, Country Universe called it the best Contemporary Country Album of all-time.[1]
