The album eschews many of Waits's signature instrumentation for a starker, more percussive sound, prioritizing raw vocals and clanging rhythms. It stands out for its minimalist approach and the absence of bluesy piano.
- The album was produced by Waits and his wife, Kathleen Brennan.
- It was recorded primarily in the couple's home studio in Sonoma, California.
- Upon release, the album reached number 33 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.
