Production

[edit]

The album was recorded in Miami.[5] "Slip Away" is a cover of the song made famous by Clarence Carter.[1] "Ocean Awash the Gunwale" was written after Gregg Allman overdosed. He mentions this in his memoir, My Cross to Bear (pages 152–153).

The Los Angeles Times called the title track "a fine, contemporary blues with an affirmatively chunky rhythm conveying the confidence of a well-tested survivor."[8] The Toronto Star noted that the "grooves are of the solid blues, country and Southern funk variety."[9] The Gazette praised the "road-hardened rhythm 'n' rock."[10]
