History
Case had suffered heart problems and had major heart surgery in 2009. After his recovery, the album was made quickly and spontaneously. It is described as "the sweet spot where garage rock, punk, and the visceral wail of blues converge", diverging from Case's previous alternative folk and country blues.Critical reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Paul Carino wrote of the album "the off-the-cuff vibe creates a thrilling authenticity, hitting the sweet spot where garage rock, punk, and the visceral wail of blues converge." Bart Mendoza, writing for San Diego Troubadour, gave the album a positive review, calling it "a welcome addition to Cases’s canon and proof positive that his muse is just as strong as ever."Track listing
