Tight riffs, soulful leads and a warm, organic band sound dominate the production, giving the album a timeless classic-rock character that appeals both to long-time fans and listeners discovering him for the first time. The deluxe configuration adds a generous selection of bonus tracks and alternate versions that illuminate the creative process behind the album and offer a deeper insight into Robertson's songwriting and guitar style. Thoughtfully sequenced, the set moves from punchy rockers to mid-tempo groovers and more reflective pieces, always anchored by his unmistakable phrasing and feel for melody.
As a musician, Brian Robertson is one of the key guitarists of 1970s and 1980s hard rock.
