Charlie Moore was a North Carolina-born vocalist and banjoist whose recording career stretched across more than two decades and encompassed releases on some of the most significant labels in traditional country and bluegrass music. His work for King Records in the 1960s, much of it recorded with guitarist and vocalist Bill Napier, had established him as a reliable and distinctive voice in the hard-country and bluegrass tradition — direct, unembellished, and rooted in the mountain music of his upbringing.

By the mid-1970s, Moore was recording for Old Homestead Records, a small Michigan-based label that had positioned itself as a home for traditional bluegrass artists who might not fit the increasingly urbanized and folk-influenced sound that had come to dominate the genre's larger commercial labels. "I'll Break Out Again Tonight" / "Kentucky Girl" (Old Homestead 45-5036), released in 1975, represents this later phase of his recording activity — material made for an audience that valued straightforward traditional performance over production novelty.

Old Homestead's catalog during this period served an important documentary function, preserving the work of artists like Moore whose music had deep roots in the pre-revival country and bluegrass tradition. The Dixie Partners configuration suggests the kind of informal working band arrangement common to bluegrass recordings of the era, where a named ensemble might vary in personnel from session to session while the lead artist's name and approach provided the consistent identity. Moore continued performing and recording into the later decades of his career, maintaining a connection to the traditional music that had shaped him long before the folk revival reframed its cultural context.
