It features a never previously heard Rob Brown trio with bassist Wilber Morris and drummer Lou Grassi.

In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "The entire album is a meditation on the instinct of blues and mood, and as such it presents Brown in an entirely different light as a soloist and as a leader."[2]
