This was a new beginning for the country singer. She'd officially extricated herself from her longtime professional partnership with producer Porter Wagoner. Dolly's struggle for independence inspired this tune. "'Light Of A Clear Blue Morning' was my song of deliverance," she explained in her 2020 book, Songteller. "I felt like I was trapped in a situation and needed to be free, because God was calling me, life was calling me, to something bigger. But I felt like my feet were nailed to the floor."
