Oslin would also take several years away from music during the mid 1990s. She faced several personal setbacks including a severe depression, side affects from menopause and quadruple bypass surgery. Following her recovery, Oslin was coaxed back into recording from former label-head chief, Joe Galante. Teaming up with sound engineer, Rick Will, she produced and recorded 1996's ""My Roots Are Showing..."," which was released on BNA Records. The album contained cover versions of lesser-known country and pop recordings. It was received unfavorably by Allmusic, who only rated it 2.5 stars. However, Robert K. Oermann of "Music Row" commented that the album showcased how Oslin was an example of the "emerging Americana music movement." ""My Roots Are Showing..."" reached number 45 on the "Billboard" country albums chart and spawned the charting single, "Silver Tongue and Gold Plated Lies."
