"Lady and Gentleman" is a country covers album, consisting of Rimes' favorite classic country love songs, all originally covered by men.[1][2]
In an interview with CMT, Rimes commented on the work she has done with Lady and Gentleman commenting "It's cool that there is this buzz about it, so I can't wait for people to hear it and see that it's as good as they're thinking it's going to be, And I say that as humbly as possible because I think it's such a great record. People don't make records like this anymore."[1] She also commented on her father, who raised her on country music. "My dad was the one who raised me on that country music. I listened to a lot of those types of men that he grew up on. Patsy Cline was the only female that I remember listening to over and over again. Otherwise, it was Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and Hank Williams. I think it was my dad who turned me to the light."
