Recording
editMoss said, "I started doing some recording in Nashville, but discovered that you could have your great, raw material songs, but then after that, the arrangement can really make or break things. And that's where I thought Peter Walker really came into his own. Peter produced the first Cold Chisel album all those years ago. He has got a fantastic ear for arrangement.[6]
Reception
editStack Magazine said "This is his finest solo album" singling out "Broadway" as an instant classic and other highlights "Down Along the Track" and "If Another Day".[7] Simon Collins from The West Australian said ".. his soulful voice and supple fret-work across 11 classic rock songs imbued with snatches of soul, blues and country." calling the album "Top shelf".[8]
