Prior to the album's release, group member Troy Gentry died in a helicopter crash in September 2017. At the time, the duo had just completed the album for Average Joes Entertainment, and "Better Me" had been released as a single.[1]
Eddie Montgomery, the other half of the duo, said that Gentry had approached him about "Better Me" and wanted to sing lead vocals on the song: "when he heard it, he came to me and said, 'Eddie, I really, really wanna sing this song.' That's the first time that had ever happened."[2]
Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated it 3 out of 5 stars, stating that " is a straight-ahead Montgomery Gentry album, one that is proudly out of step with current fads and designed to please longtime fans."[3]
