[4] The band consists of Edie Brickell, drummer Steve Gadd, guitarist Andy Fairweather Low and bass player Pino Palladino.

[5] The album takes a casual easygoing approach that marries Brickell's laid-back songs with the skills of the seasoned session professional musicians.

The first song, a one-minute tune called "Meat on Your Bones", was spontaneously written and recorded, setting a tone of not taking the recording of the music too seriously for the first few songs, aiming for loose, spontaneous, and inviting, creating a playful band dynamic.

Brickell reports that the band transforms the song into something with a lot more personality than she had conceived.

[9] Brickell found that working with The Gaddabouts inspired a joy of music creation because instead of playing a song 50 times, with the seasoned crew they could develop the song they wanted in one take, keeping everything as live as possible in the studio.
