The album included 12 tracks, among which "Make the World Go Away" and "Maureen".[4]
The album opens with a cover of Hank Cochran's song "Make the World Go Away", recorded by Reeves at his last recording session in July 1964.
"I Can't Stop Loving You" is another song from that session[citation needed] and is in fact the last song Reeves ever recorded:
When the session ended with some time remaining on the schedule, Reeves suggested that he should record one more song. And he taped "I Can't Stop Loving You".[5][6]
