Background and content

''With Love, from Lynn'' was recorded in 1968 at the RCA Victor Studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions were produced by Slim Williamson, Anderson's producer on the Chart label. The collection consisted of 12 tracks. Of these songs, four were composed by Anderson's mother, Liz Anderson.

Some tracks on the album were cover versions of songs recorded by other artists. The second track was a cover of Tammy Wynette's major hit, "Stand by Your Man." Additionally, one of the album's final tracks was a cover of Leroy Van Dyke's " The Auctioneer."
