The album was produced by Andrew Hollander ("Sleep Walk With Me") and was recorded live with just vocals and guitar and features guest appearances by Cat Popper (Jack White, Ryan Adams) on vocals and bass and Jon Graboff (Willie Nelson) on pedal steel.

Gibbs had this to say, "The album was so named due to the absence of editing, massive overdubs, and the usual onslaught of studio trickery ever so present in today's musical climate.

"I was a little nervous at first as I've always recorded vocals last where you can edit them and finish the lyrics during the actual take.
