Make Me Like a Child Again

Make Me Like a Child Again is a studio album by American recording artist Wanda Jackson. It was released in March 1976 via Myrrh Records and contained ten tracks. The disc was Jackson's twenty-fourth studio album and her fourth to consist entirely of gospel songs. One single was issued from the album in 1975 titled "Touring That City".

Background and content
Before her gospel material, Wanda Jackson reached commercial success in the Rockabilly and country music fields with singles like "Let's Have a Party" and "Right Wrong". After dedicating her life to Christianity in 1971, Jackson left her long-time label to record gospel (in combination with country music) for Word Records. Among her gospel releases was Make Me Like a Child Again. The project was recorded in the fall of 1975 at the Creative Workshop, a studio located in Nashville, Tennessee. Sessions were produced by Billy Ray Hearn. A total of ten gospel recordings comprised the album. Among these tracks were covers of "Victory in Jesus", "Lord I'm Coming Home", Marilyn Sellars' "One Day at a Time" and Bill Gaither's "Because He Lives".

Release and singles
Make Me Like a Child Again was released on Myrrh Records in March 1976. It was Jackson's twenty fourth studio collection released in her career and her third Myrrh release. The album was distributed as a vinyl LP, containing five songs on either side of the record. It also was distributed as a cassette. The album failed to reach any Billboard chart positions, notably the Top Country Albums survey, which Jackson's albums often made appearances on. She would record several more gospel and country albums for the Word and Myrrh record labels during the 1970s. However, these albums lacked any commercial success. In her autobiography, Jackson reflected on the album's release and found that the record was "not very memorable" in comparison with her other gospel albums. "Touring That City" was the only single that appeared on the album, released on Myrrh in 1975.
