Working in the dead of night, when most people were safely in their beds, Fiona Joyce recorded a selection of her own songs covering subjects as diverse as immortality, the demands of young children, partying, political prisoners, mysticism, and imminent unemployment. Also on the album are Fiona's interpretations of "Crazy Man Michael", by Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick, and "Down Where The Drunkards Roll", by Richard Thompson.

Originally released in 1991, on vinyl and cassette only, Behind Closed Doors quickly became a sought after collectors' item on the underground round market. Due to growing worldwide interest in the album, River Valley Records decided to make it available on CD from 1 September 1993.
