The second solo album from Replacements/Guns N' Roses bass player Tommy Stinson takes a more chilled-out, stripped-down approach to the output from his current day job. Taking the Dylanesque approach of his earlier effort, 'Village Gorilla Head' and giving it a much stronger production that compliments his playing and voice perfectly.
Another addition that richens the experience is Tommy's wife, Emily Roberts providing backing vocals on multiple tracks (and co-lead vocals on another track). For Replacements fans, there is 'Match Made In Hell', a song that Stinson worked with former bandmate Paul Westerberg on (though a mistake in formatting means that Paul's versions were unable to be included on the record), and for Guns N' Roses fans there's the ultra-laid back title track, co-written by Dizzy Reed and Richard Fortus whilst on tour in Europe after an "inner-band dispute". However, 'Don't Deserve You', 'Meant To Be', 'All This Way For Nothing', and 'Destroy Me' also stand out.
