A former member of such notable groups as The Bomboras and The Loons (also current Sleepwalkers member), Action Andy makes his sophomore effort with this album, an electrifying blend of Americana and alt-country styles, with shifts into straight ahead rock & roll, a touch of Latin, and minor key moves. Part concept album, it tells the tale of a man's search for Love and Redemption, with the pitfalls, perils, and trials that occur along the way.

This album features the talents of his band The Hi-Tones, comprised of Xavier Anaya on lead guitar (Hoods, Trebels, Baja Bugs, Phantoms, etc.), Tom Ward on upright and electric bass (Gravedigger V, Nashville Ramblers), and Skid Roper (Mojo Nixon, Evasions, Country Dick Montana & The Snuggle Bunnies, etc.) on cocktail drum.
