• Isobel Campbell told the Independent newspaper May 9, 2008 how she came up with the lyrics for this song: "When I wrote 'Keep Me in Mind Sweetheart' a few summers ago I was staying at my mother's house and I awoke one morning with the tune and first verse pretty much already written. I still hadn't quite woken up and I swear I could hear Willie Nelson singing it in my head. It made me feel good, reassured. I loved the melody and sensed that the initial idea had a Hank Williams 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' kind of feel. To me there is nothing clever about this tune - I had my head aggravated and full of some guy at the time and this little 3/4 lilting country song of mine is all about that, just genuine and heartfelt."
• Sunday at Devil Dirt was the second collaboration between former Belle & Sebastian vocalist and cello player Isobel Campbell and ex-Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stones Age singer Mark Lanegan. Their first, Ballad of the Broken Seas, made the shortlist for the UK Mercury Music Prize in 2006.
