After disbanding his previous project, alternative rock band The Voice Of, Deck and drummer Kenny Holloway began writing and arranging the songs that would become the genesis of Green Corn Revival.

The lineup also added bassist Miles Johnson, allowing Ryan Houck to move to dobro, banjo, and pedal steel.

[citation needed] Green Corn Revival's relationship with Wanda Jackson continued after Say You're a Sinner, with the band backing her for a sold out album release party in Oklahoma City in January 2011.

[12] In April 2012, Holloway and the Houcks decided to amicably part ways with Green Corn Revival and form Honeylark with former GCR keyboardist Caleb Creed.

[23] The album's first single, "Hard Timin' Monopolizin' Blues", received a music video,[24] which featured Southwestern Oklahoma State University students and members of the Weatherford community.
