Album Notes Personnel: Sam Phillips (vocals, guitars, chamberlain); Sandy Bull (oud); Sid Page (violin); John Acevedo (viola); Larry Corbett (cello); Jim Goodwin (piano); Jerry Scheff (bass); Michael Blair, Ralph Forbes, Mickey Curry, David Kemper, Scott Musick, Alex Acuna (drums). Engineers: Stacy Baird, Rik Pekkonen, Joe Schiff. Recorded at Eagle Audio, Ft. Worth, Texas; Ocean Way Recorders, Sunset Sound Factory, and Reggie Fisher's Los Angeles, California. 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)
