The three country stars were fans of each other and had been trying to get this collaboration together for a while. Schedules and the fact that they were all signed to different labels interfered with these plans and early efforts generally fell by the wayside.
Some of these early attempts at collaboration leached into their respective solo releases in the following years, and they continued to cover each other's songs. Finally they were able to make it happen and "Trio" the album was born.
Their three voices join together in beautiful harmonies on the country hymns, while making space for some strong spotlight performances. It was a bit of a return to more straight-ahead country for at least a couple of the members who had been wandering into more novelty pop-country territory.
"Wildflowers" is a personal favourite of mine.
