"Summer In Dixie" became their first single to miss the top 40 in the United States.
"I Am Just a Rebel" was previously recorded by Billy Hill on their 1989 album of the same name, and later by Billy Hill member Dennis Robbins on his 1992 album Man with a Plan and was later recorded by Joy Lynn White on her 1994 album Wild Love.
