Background

This is Tucker's first album, considered her original Magnum Opus. It is the album that helped her achieve fame among fans on the genre, and Haphazard is often though as "an excellent example of her diverse musical range". The official website cites that "many happy owners of this album claim to never get tired of listening to it and several claim to have nearly burned a hole in the disc, from playing it so often."

After the first printing, the album was released again with a different covert art.
