One cut from the album, Garth Brooks' rendition of "To Make You Feel My Love," reached Number One on the Billboard country singles charts in August 1998.[1] This song also appeared on a re-release of Brooks's 1995 album Fresh Horses which was included in his 1998 box set The Limited Series.[2]
The Bob Seger-Martina McBride duet "Chances Are" peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart in 1998.[3] Lila McCann's "To Get Me to You" was also released as a radio single,[4] but did not chart. Paul Davis's 1981 single "Cool Night," which reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981, is also included on the album.[5]
A remastered and expanded soundtrack was released on April 24, 2007, featuring an additional six tracks but removing Brooks's song.[6]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave the album four stars out of five, calling it "an excellent collection of contemporary country and rootsy mainstream pop."[7]
