It was released independently in 2006 and later re-released in 2007 and 2008 by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verve_Records" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Verve Records</a> in the United States and by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Classics_and_Jazz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Universal Classics and Jazz</a> (UCJ) internationally. The album contains new recordings of songs previously released on Gardot's first extended play, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Lessons:_The_Bedroom_Sessions" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions</em></a> (2005), as well as previously unreleased tracks.</p><p><br></p><h2>Background</h2><p>Speaking of how the album first came to be made, Gardot told British writer Pete Lewis of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_%26_Soul" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Blues &amp; Soul</em></a> in November 2008: "It was created independently of a record company. It was made privately. So my only intention, or my only <em>goal</em>, was to make a record that at the end of the day I was happy with. And the way that the instrumentation was decided on was based on what I heard in my head, and what I thought would <em>feel</em> the best. So I guess having it released is kinda like having somebody publish your diary in a way!"<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worrisome_Heart#cite_note-11" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[11]</a></p><p>The tracks "Wicked Ride", "Some Lessons" and "Goodnite" were re-recorded for this album and are not the versions that appear on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Lessons:_The_Bedroom_Sessions" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions</em></a> EP. The 2006 independent release has a longer running time of 41:40 as it included the new version of "Wicked Ride", as well as the hidden track "Sorry State", which were omitted when released by Verve Records. The album cover and track listing were changed for a promotional release in 2007 and again for its eventual official release under the label in 2008.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>Reception</h2><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JazzTimes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>JazzTimes</em></a> review by A. D. Amorosi stated, "But, though she plays so very well with others, if she was alone on a street corner, hooting to the moon, you’d hear the same subtle drama and dynamics. Forget the story. Desire the singer."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worrisome_Heart#cite_note-JT-12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[12]</a> Michael G. Nastos of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AllMusic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AllMusic</a> wrote, "Melody Gardot's debut recording, released in 2006, came two years after she suffered a near fatal automobile accident, the differently able Gardot triumphing in accomplishing what many others, including her, could only dream of. This project has her singing and playing guitar and a little piano, but more so presenting this project of all original material. Gardot has an interesting personal story, but even more intriguing music that straddles the line between lounge jazz, folk, and cowgirl songs."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worrisome_Heart#cite_note-AM-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[1]</a> Geoffrey Himes of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Post" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Washington Post</em></a> added, "Melancholy or irreverent, Gardot's vocals fit snugly into the understated jazz arrangements. But what really sells these songs are the juicy melodies. If the chorus hook of her "Sweet Memory" reminds one of Carole King's "Sweet Seasons," that's just a measure of the high standard she meets on all of her originals."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worrisome_Heart#cite_note-TWP-8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[8]</a></p><h2><br></h2><h2>Track listing</h2><p>All tracks are written by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_Gardot" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Melody Gardot</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>"<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worrisome_Heart_(song)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Worrisome Heart</a>"4:21.</p><p>"All That I Need Is Love"2:36.</p><p>"Gone"2:50.</p><p>"Sweet Memory"3:21.</p><p>"Some Lessons"5:23.</p><p>"Quiet Fire"4:13.</p><p>"One Day"2:02.</p><p>"Love Me Like a River Does"4:06.</p><p>"Goodnite"3:04.</p><p>"Twilight"1:01</p>
