Background and content

In 1989, Fricke's final album with Columbia Records was released titled Labor of Love.[2] With limited commercial attention to her music, the label dropped her in 1990 and Fricke signed with the smaller Intersound Records in 1991.[3][2] Her first album project with the label would be an eponymous disc in 1991.[4] It was recorded at the House of David, a studio located in Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions for the album were produced by Gilles Godard and Randy Jackson (Fricke's husband at the time).[5] A total of 11 tracks comprised the album. Three of the album's songs were composed by Gilles Godard: "Greater Than Love", "I Want to Grow Old with You" and "I Know a Good Love (When I Lose One)". It also included a cover version of "Love Letters"[5] which was originally a top ten pop hit for Ketty Lester in 1962.[6]
