Production
AnnunciationШаблон:'s songs were written in a cabin in Colorado.[8] It was recorded primarily at Chez Flames Recordings in New Orleans, produced by the band and Keith Keller.[9][10] Glyn Johns had produced five of the songs for an earlier, aborted album.[11] The band was chiefly inspired by gospel music; they also decided to make a mostly acoustic album.[12][13] The title track describes being dropped by Atlantic Records.[14] "Late at Night" was cowritten by members of the Iguanas.[15] "Message Man" criticizes the music industry.[16] "Angel to Be" is about the death of bassist Johnny Ray Allen's mother.[17]
Critical reception
Шаблон:Music ratings The Chicago Tribune praised Tommy Malone's "soulful vocals and bluesy guitar work."[18] The Orlando Sentinel determined that the Subdudes "custom-blend their R & B with rock, gospel, funk and Cajun/Creole influences from New Orleans."[15] The Indianapolis Star called the music "a melodic mix of New Orleans blues and gospel and American pop, with a heavy emphasis on beat."[16] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette dismissed the album as "a lukewarm, white-bread retread of the Big Chill soundtrack."[19]
The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph deemed the album "a mixture of N'awlins funk, deep South blues and Colorado folk."[20] Rolling Stone wrote that "this is New Orleans R&B at its most swinging, with touches of barroom blues, gospel-inspired harmonies, rock and country rhythms and, very simply, some fine playing."[9] Stereo Review opined that "Malone sometimes comes across like Michael McDonald—a white guy trying too hard to sing the blues."[3] The Boston Herald considered the music to be "folk-soul."[21]
AllMusic wrote that "the music combines joy, melancholy, gospel fervor, and blues sincerity to create a unique and appealing sound."[22]
