Bekka & Billy consisted of American country music artists Bekka Bramlett and Billy Burnette, who first joined forces while part of Fleetwood Mac. Their eponymous debut album was launched in April 1997 under the Almo Sounds label. Although their initial single, "Patient Heart," failed to enter the U.S. charts, it managed to attain position No. 96 on Canada's RPM Country Tracks listing.

The album received a B rating from Entertainment Weekly, which remarked that if "Patient Heart" did not achieve success, then Nashville was "asleep at the wheel." Meanwhile, AllMusic gave the album three stars, praising the pair as "tailor made for stardom." Notably, the record included guitar performances by Vince Gill and featured a song penned by Delaney Bramlett. The duo parted ways in January 1998.
