Although Orrall never recorded a solo album after Flying Colors, he would later team up with Curtis Wright to record one album as the duo Orrall & Wright. In addition, Orrall has recorded several albums of indie rock as a member of the band Monkey Bowl.

Reception

In his 4.5 star (out of a possible five) star review for allmusic, Roch Parisien said that "[Orrall]'s vocals come across with a throaty, good-nature[d] charm reminiscent of Huey Lewis." He went on to say that "if you ever wondered what Huey would sound like with better melodies and a country backing, this disc's for you."[1]
