Produced by Billy Sherrill, the album ventured into controversial territory with its title track, The Midnight Oil, a cheating song that peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and was historically significant as one of the first such songs performed by a woman. Other hit singles include Tonight My Baby?s Coming Home (No. 10), Show Me (No. 11), Give a Little, Take a Little (No. 24), and Holdin? On (To the Love I Got) (No. 27), all reaching the Top 40. The album features covers like Tanya Tucker?s The Jamestown Ferry and George Jones and Tammy Wynette?s We?re Gonna Hold On, blending traditional country with a soulful edge. Its success, with two Top 10 hits, solidified Mandrell?s rise in country music and showcased her versatility.
