Producer Ken Nelson set up recording sessions in August 1958 to record enough tracks for two albums. The first was to become Country Love Ballads, the second the gospel music for Satan Is Real. Over 20 songs were recorded in a seven-day span.[3]
"If I Could Only Win Your Love" was covered by Emmylou Harris and became her first solo hit in 1975.[4]

Production notes:
- Ken Nelson – producer
gollark: It does help you with things, and people find it fun.
gollark: I like it because you don't have to worry about stuff like "units" and "error bars" and in many cases even "numbers".
gollark: You vaguely remind me of my former maths teacher, who seemed really weirdly enthusiastic about (some) maths.
gollark: However, gnobody, universities are not able to instantly teach maths[citation needed] so that is not *that* relevant. Although I suppose you'll probably like learning it full-time from very good mathers™ more, you can do SOME mathy stuff now.
gollark: You can just learn more maths now. You don't have to go to universities just to learn maths.
