The recording sessions took place at Ardent Studio "C" in Memphis, Tennessee.

It features contributions from the North Mississippi Allstars, David Hood, Jim Spake, Jeff Callaway, Scott Thompson, Joe Sellmansberger, "T-Bone" Tommy Burroughs, and Dickinson.

The album was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics.

[1] AllMusic's Mark Deming wrote: "while Hiatt sounds soulful as all get out (as per usual) on this set, the lingering mood is often downbeat and introspective".

[2] Steve Horowitz of PopMatters wrote: "the tunes would be a whole lot better with careful pruning".
