The album does not employ electric guitar, synths, or percussion. Lap steel, acoustic guitar, piano, and organ are the only accompaniment to Sharp's vocals. The album was recorded in Tennessee.[5]
Critical reception
The Detroit Metro Times called it "plaintive music so utterly anguished yet hauntingly beautiful it’s almost too painful to listen to."[6]
