- The album was originally released in 1982 and produced by Steve Lillywhite, who had previously worked with bands like U2 and Talking Heads.
- It features the hit single "Someday, Someway," which became Crenshaw's biggest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Despite its critical acclaim and commercial success, the album did not reach the Billboard 200 album chart.
