Gordy has served as bassist and producer on nearly all of Loveless's albums. Gordy had previously played bass in Emmylou Harris's touring band the Hot Band, and has also produced albums by the Bellamy Brothers, Earl Thomas Conley, and Alabama, among others. Loveless told The Los Angeles Times in 1995 that their relationship inspired the title track of When Fallen Angels Fly, as both of them had been in prior relationships and were uncertain if they would successfully develop another until they met each other. Loveless's brother Roger, who played several key roles in her early career, died at age 72 in June 2022.
