Tim Crouch produced and played many of the instruments on the project.
He also wrote several songs, but also found many of the songs from
famous writers that he works with. With the pandemic, the recording was
done quite differently than what Jeannie is used to. The tracks were
recorded in Nashville and then sent to Jeannie and Carl, who added their
vocals at a studio in Arkansas.

"Island In The Kitchen" was the first song recorded for the album. Carl
says, "Everybody's got an island in their kitchen, so you can always go to
an island even if it's not the Bahamas.” The song was written by Jerry
Gillespie, who also wrote The Kendalls’ smash hit "Heaven's Just A Sin
Away.”

Jeannie says, "There aren't a lot of ballads on this album. The majority of
the album is up tempo and feel-good music. But there is one ballad we did
called ‘Lover's Moon.’"

The title song, "You Got Me," was the first single released and reached
number one on the independent charts.

"I Love That Look On Your Face" was co-written by Statler Brother Jimmy
Fortune.

“Grandma’s Quilt” is a country bluegrass-style song written by Jeannie
Kendall and Bonnie Trulove.

Jeannie and Carl also chose several older songs to cover for the project.
"Feel Like Traveling On" was recorded by such artists as Loretta Lynn and
The Chuck Wagon Gang. "No Teardrops Tonight" was written and
originally recorded by Hank Williams Sr. "Blues Stay Away From Me" was
written and recorded originally by the Delmore Brothers. It's a great blues
sound in Jeannie's own style.

This album has an overall bluegrass feel to it, with more acoustic-type
arrangements, but that unmistakable Kendalls sound is front and center.
Jeannie and Carl sing so well together. While Royce can never be
replaced, Carl certainly steps in and does a beautiful job with his dynamic
vocals.

So it is, that the history of The Kendalls lives on!
