Released on January 8, 1976, this was Midler's third studio album, following a two-and-a-half-year gap from her previous release. Recorded between 1972 and 1976 at several renowned New York studios including Electric Lady and Atlantic Recording Studios, the album peaked at No. 27 on the US Billboard 200.

Additional Features: The album is known for its eclectic mix of genres, including a "discofied" version of Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night," which reached No. 7 on the US dance charts. A notable highlight is the track "Buckets of Rain," which features a duet with Bob Dylan. The songs "Old Cape Cod" and "Marahuana" were original recordings from her 1972 debut sessions that were remixed specifically for this release.
