Seven Year Ache was the first of two Billboard number one country albums for Rosanne Cash. Three of its tracks were also number one in the U.S. country singles category: "Seven Year Ache" (which also crossed over to the U.S. pop top forty) "My Baby Thinks He's a Train", and "Blue Moon with Heartache".

The song was later covered by Québécoise singer Carole Laure on her 1989 album Western Shadows; country diva Trisha Yearwood also covered the song in the late 1990s.
