It peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard country albums chart. It was co-produced by Mark Yeary, keyboardist of The Strangers. Although Haggard's tenure with Epic had been a success in its first three years, producing twelve top-ten hits (with nine of them going to No. 1), his relationship with the label deteriorated in the latter part of the 1980s. 5:01 Blues was to be his last studio album with Epic. The single, A Better Love Next Time, became Haggard's last top 5 solo single, while two other singles, If You Want to Be My Woman and the title track, failed to crack the top 20 on the country charts. A final single, the opener Broken Friend did not chart. Someday We'll Know was co-written by Haggard and Teresa Lane, who later become Haggard's fifth wife.
