Recorded in the U.S., unlike his previous album, My Way or the Highway, the album shows that "it [is] clear that Guitar Shorty was back to stay stateside."[1] AllMusic praises the album, calling it "more impressive than My Way or the Highway... thanks to superior production values and a better handle on his past."[1]

gollark: For example, `do_something(4, 44)` would print `48`, as inside the function arg1 has the value `4` and arg2 has the value `44`.
gollark: You can now call `do_something` with some arguments and it'll print their sum.
gollark: ```lualocal function do_something(arg1, arg2) print(arg1 + arg2)end```
gollark: You could just use a function.
gollark: What exactly is your goal with "creating a class"?
