As with all of his previous albums, the title track was co-written by David Lee. "On My Way to You" is the lead single. Included are two cover songs: "Long Haired Country Boy", originally by Charlie Daniels, and "Husbands and Wives", which has been recorded by Roger Miller, David Frizzell and Shelly West, and Brooks & Dunn. Trent Willmon is the album's producer.
Critical reception
Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated that "Its blend of classic hardwood honky tonk with a modern sensibility feels assured, the songs are designed to withstand the road, and Johnson feels casually confident in his delivery."
