Contents

Promotion

Barnes performed "I'd Die to Be with You Tonight" live with Diesel on The X Factor on 25 August 2014. [5]

Barnes said of the album: "We've actually kicked some new life into the songs, I think when people hear this new record, they will get a sense that these are very modern takes on these songs. They sound fresh and they sound new and they sound alive." [6]

Reception

Paul Stewart of the Daily Express wrote, "This is definitely a toe-tapping modern rock album with great ebb and flow and is certainly well worth a listen." [7] Dan Lander of Rolling Stone wrote, "Barnes' voice has lost none of its bite, and he genuinely sounds like he’s ecstatic to be putting fresh life into this collection of old favorites." [8]
