Background and release

Lynn Anderson's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 was the third compilation Chart Records issued of Anderson's material. It included material that had originally been produced by Slim Williamson for the label.[1] Ten tracks were included on the collection. Of these recordings, only six were actually released as singles. These songs were "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", "That's a No No," "No Another Time," "Ride, Ride Ride," "Flattery Will Get You Everywhere" and "Our House Is Not a Home (For It's Never Been Loved In)." The remaining four tracks were album cuts that had also previously been issued on studio albums during her time with the Chart label.[1]

Lynn Anderson's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 was released in January 1971 on Chart Records. It was the third compilation released by the label and it was issued following her departure from the company (Anderson had switched to Columbia Records in 1970).[1] It was issued as a vinyl LP, containing five tracks on each side of the record.[2] The album spent several weeks on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in 1971. It eventually peaked at number 40 on the chart that year. It was her second compilation to place on the record chart.[3]
