The album was initially set to be released a year ago, but production had to be postponed after Lynn had a stroke sixteen months ago.

She was performing at her 85th birthday bash at the time and had to be hospitalized. She had to postpone several other performances and concerts.

Lynn was paralyzed on one side of her body and had to use a walker, but that she made remarkable progress throughout the months.

The stroke forced her to take a much-needed break from her career, and she used the time to recover and rest.

Her doctors predicted a full recovery and fans followed her recuperation with great interest. They were delighted to see the singer getting stronger every day.

Lynn, also known as the Coal Miner’s Daughter and the First Lady of Country Music, started performing in the 1950’s by singing in local clubs with her band, the Trailblazers.

Lynn released a Christmas album in 2016, her first in nearly five decades and "Wouldn't It Be Great" is her 41st album.

She collaborated with John Carter Cash and her daughter Patsy Lynn Russel, and the album was recorded in Tennessee.
