"Never Ending Song of Love" was recorded a duet with fellow Pikeville, Kentucky native Dwight Yoakam. The original version of “Never Ending Song of Love” was recorded by Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett as a rock/soul song (It was Billboard's #67 top 100 pop single of 1971). It is the second time that they have recorded together. They had previously recorded "Send a Message to My Heart" on Yoakam's album If There Was a Way, released in 1992.

The album's title song was recorded by Loveless in memory of Waylon Jennings. It was written by record producer-songwriter Allen Reynolds and was originally recorded in 1975 by both Jennings (on his album Dreaming My Dreams) and Crystal Gayle (on her album Somebody Loves You) when Reynolds was Gayle's record producer. The track "When I Reach the Place I'm Going" was originally recorded by Wynonna Judd on her debut album.

Copy protection controversy

edit

In November 2005, it was revealed that Sony BMG was distributing albums with Extended Copy Protection,[12][13] a controversial feature that automatically installed rootkit software on any Microsoft Windows machine upon insertion of the disc. In addition to preventing the CDs contents from being copied, it was also revealed that the software reported the users' listening habits back to Sony BMG and also exposed the computer to malicious attacks that exploited insecure features of the rootkit software. Dreamin' My Dreams was listed among the 52 CDs that were known to contain the software,[14] of which the usage by Sony was discontinued on November 11, 2005,[15] when Sony BMG recalled this and other titles affected by XCP, and asked customers to return copies affected by the software to Sony BMG in exchange for copies that were devoid of the controversial technology.[16]
