Background, content and release

Margo Smith first found success as a country performer during the late 1970s. Recording for 20th Century Fox and later Warner Bros., she had major hits with songs like "There I Said It", "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" and "Still a Woman". After her chart success faded, Smith recorded for independent record labels during the 1980s. In the early 1990s, Smith formed a Christian/gospel duo with her daughter, Holly Smith.[2][3] Wishes was the duo's second album together, after their first was released in 1991.[4] The album contained a total of ten tracks, several of which were composed by either Margo or Holly Smith.[1] The project was cut at the Suite 16 recording studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee. Sessions were produced by Bobby All and Robin Mew.[4]

Wishes was first released in 1992 on Homeland Records, a subsidiary of Word Records. The album was originally issued as a compact disc.[4] In 2010, the album was re-released to digital sites via Mansion Entertainment.[5] The album received a total of two stars from AllMusic.[1] The album's release would bring success for the Smith duo. Their songs would later find success on contemporary Christian radio, however, no specific singles are mentioned.[1] They would continue collaborating through the 1990s and release more music as a duo.[3]
