The album is his first for Proper American Recordings, which also gave the world recent recordings by Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham, the Hacienda Brothers, Bobby Purify and Andy Fairweather Low. On the new album, Kirchen reunites with friends who have accompanied him on recent albums. Nick Lowe, who refers to Kirchen as "a devastating culmination of elegant and funky," signs on as bassist and backing vocalist. Robert Trehern plays drums; Geraint Watkins and Austin DeLone man the keyboards. Paul Riley and Kirchen co-produced. For this album, Kirchen decided to put an accent on his songwriting, a talent that is sometimes overshadowed by his dazzling instrumental virtuosity.
