In an interview with the duo, Armstrong says he got the idea for the album a few years ago when he picked up the Everly Brothers classic. He thought a woman's voice would be the perfect fit for his updated version and immediately thought of Jones � something she questions. "Everyone else turned you down," she jokes.

Jones said they thought they'd go into the rockabilly world for this one�or "NorahBilly," as Armstrong calls it�but they ended up sticking with the original's stripped-down country roots. It's the thing Armstrong is most proud of when it comes to this album, that they were able to honor these timeless folk and country songs.
