Background and content
Once Over Lightly was one of several concept albums released by Hank Locklin during his career.[2] Like his previous concept releases, Once Over Lightly focused around a particular theme. Consisting of 24 songs, Locklin re-recorded many of his former hit singles in what the liner considered to be a "compact arrangement." The original song lengths were shortened so that each track was under two minutes length.[3][1] Among the re-recorded hits by Locklin on the album were "Send Me the Pillow (That You Dream On)," "Geisha Girl" and "Please Help Me, I'm Falling." In addition, Locklin recorded shorter versions of songs first made famous by other country artists. Among the record's cover tunes was Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line," Hank Snow's "I Don't Hurt Anymore" and Brenda Lee's "Fool No. 1." Once Over Lightly was recorded at the RCA Victor Studio in August 1965. The recording sessions were produced by Bob Ferguson. It was Locklin's first album to be fully produced by Ferguson, who had previously co-produced a studio release of Locklin's.[3]
