Written, recorded, engineered, mixed and produced by Neumann, the album also features Neumann playing were created with Neumann’s own hands. In turn, it has been close to 40 years since his band formed in Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1986, Neumann remains at the helm of the BoDeans.

All the while, Neumann continues to tour steadily, and the BoDeans live lineup also includes Stefano Intelisano (keyboards, accordion), Brian Ferguson (drums) and James Hertless (bass guitar, vocals).
