"Lord Have Mercy on the Working Man" was the first single released from the album. Written by Kostas, it features Brooks & Dunn, T. Graham Brown, George Jones, Little Texas, Dana McVicker, Tanya Tucker, and Porter Wagoner as backing vocalists on the final chorus. Two cover songs are on the album: the title track, originally a single in 1975 for Elvis Presley, and "Leave My Girl Alone", previously recorded by Stevie Ray Vaughan on his 1989 album In Step, and earlier by Chicago blues guitarist Buddy Guy.
