Notably, it features the well-known theme song from the popular television show The Dukes of Hazzard; undoubtedly, the success of the number-one album was due in part to the popularity of said theme, which reaching #1 on the country charts, also peaking at just outside the top 20 on the pop charts. Aside from that, "Clyde" and "Storms Never Last" charted as singles, peaking at #7 and #17 respectively.
