Content

Bob Corbin and Dave Hanner had recorded in the 1980s as the Corbin/Hanner Band, but broke up after the closure of their label Alfa Records. At the end of the 1980s, record producer and music executive Harold Shedd encouraged the two to reunite as a duo, as he was a fan of their music. [1] Shedd co-produced the project with the duo. Corbin and Hanner wrote five songs each, and sang lead vocals on their respective compositions. [2] The album's name is derived from a lyric in the closing track, "Scooter, Michael, Danny, and Me." [3] The project accounted for three singles, the former two of which appeared on Billboard Hot Country Songs. These were "Work Song" at number 55, and "Concrete Cowboy" at number 59. [4] Corbin/Hanner had previously recorded "Work Song" in the 1980s, and Pake McEntire also cut the song. [5] Released last was "One More Night". [6]

Critical reception

Jack Hurst of the Chicago Tribune Hurst thought the project had a "rock-oriented sound" and strong lyrics, highlighting those of the singles and "Scooter, Michael, Danny, and Me" in particular. [7]
