AllMusic[1]

The album was recorded on singer/guitarist Greg Keelor's farm in Southern Ontario in July 1993. While the band originally intended for the recordings to serve only as demos, they found that the songs had a warmth and spontaneity that warranted releasing the collection as an album. Guest musicians on the album include Sarah McLachlan, Colin Linden and Anne Bourne. This album was keyboardist James Gray's first album with the band.

This album is supposed to be a tribute to the Harvest-era Neil Young sound.[2] "5 Days in May", "Hasn't Hit Me Yet" and "Bad Timing" were notable hit singles for the band.
