After previous album "Little Heroes", which used a wide variety of instruments and outside musicians, this was a return to the roots for Kokomo, stripping down to just the four-piece with three different drummers on various tracks. A collection of new songs from Derek Jacombs, this was the first album since Sonia Bullot officially joined the band, though she had been playing live with Kokomo for several years, and the first album since Nigel Masters switched to upright bass, adding a whole new feel to songs like "Any Road Up".
