Production edit

The album was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, in Alabama.[5][6] "Sitting in Limbo" was used on the following year's The Harder They Come.[7] Although recorded in the United States, the album was not released in the country.[8]

Critical reception edit

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "short on roots credibility."[1] Wax Poetics wrote that the album "had some excellent material—Cliff’s earnest tenor nicely contrasted by the bluegrass soul of the Swampers—but despite containing classics such as 'Sitting in Limbo' and the title track, the album was widely panned, falling as it did between two camps and perhaps being too far from the Jamaican vibe that had driven Wonderful World."[2]
