No Rules features strong southern soul influences.[1] The album includes covers of Aretha Franklin's 1967 hit "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man", The Temptations' 1975 funk classic "Shakey Ground", and "We're in This Love Together", originally by soul/jazz singer Al Jarreau.
The album reached #69 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. "Sing 'Cause I Love To" was released as a single but failed to chart.
