This is the first pressing of this lp, it was subsequently leased out and reissued to Jewel Records in 1983, with the same cover and track listings. Leomia is from Aberdeen, Mississippi; she has recorded on several labels including A.I.R.; Jewel and Melendo. On her A.I.R. recordings, Leomia sounds like a gospel version of soul singer, Shirley Brown, who is with Malaco records and recorded on the Stax label in the 1970's. Unfortunately Leomia passed away in 2016 from pancreatic cancer.

This album is one of Leomia's rarest albums to find
Leomia has recorded at least 9 albums, this is her second album on Jewel Records and third album ever; I do prefer Leomia's earlier albums like this one, however, Leomia has a good down home voice. The song "Jesus, I Am Yours" is a gospel version of r&b singer Bettye Swann's song "Make Me Yours".
