This included the single "Double S", which was co-written with Buddy Killen. Also featured on the album is Anderson's major hit from 1978, "I Can't Wait Any Longer". The album was originally released through his 1978 studio album but was featured on Ladies Choice as well. Also included were several songs composed by others.
