After New Harvest...First Gathering (1977), her first self-produced album, made little impact on the pop charts, Parton turned to the pop producer Gary Klein. Here You Come Again became her first million-seller, reaching number one on the country albums chart and number 20 on the pop chart. The title song, written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, topped the country singles chart and reached number three on the Hot 100, her first pop top 10. The double A-side Two Doors Down and It's All Wrong, But It's All Right, both her own songs, topped the country chart and reached the pop top 20.

The musicians included David Foster on keyboards, Dean Parks on lead guitar, Jim Keltner on percussion, David Lindley on slide guitar and Al Perkins on pedal steel, with Nick DeCaro arranging the strings and voices. Besides her own songs the record has songs by John Sebastian (Lovin' You), Bobby Goldsboro (Cowgirl and the Dandy) and Kenny Rogers (Sweet Music Man). In 1978 she won the Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, for this album.
