All songs written by Sam Phillips.
This 1991 follow-up to the well-received INDESCRIBABLE WOW takes a confident step forward in the direction of more adventurous and varied songwriting, more exotic and curlicued production (courtesy of Sam Phillips's then-husband T-Bone Burnett), and a newly languid vocal freedom. Standout tracks include the explosive "Lying," the quirky title track, and the Byrdsian "Raised on Promises."

Industry Reviews
dresses up folk-rooted songs with rich, near-baroque accompaniment...proof enough that the secular and the spiritual can intersect in strange and affecting ways.
New York Times (06/02/1991)

4 Stars - Excellent - ..the progression since her first album is marked..this album demands to be heard...
