Background and recording
The songs on the album were a combination of songs written by Low Cut Connie's two songwriters--Adam Weiner and Dan Finnemore--both of whom were already members of their own bands at the time. The album was recorded over a four-day period at the Gainesville, Florida studio of the band's guitarist Neil Duncan, who also engineered the album.
Critical reception
Several music critics, such as Ken Tucker and Robert Christgau, gave the album favorable reviews upon its release. Tucker, along with a reviewer writing for Blurt Magazine, also compared the album's music to Jerry Lee Lewis. Similarly, Guitar World described the album's music as "swampy, Fifties-inspired American rock and roll."
