This album was Randy’s third and at this point Randy was a very accomplished musician.
His song writing had always been very strong but now his guitar work was catching up. For many this album was their first exposure to Randy Stonehill and it had strong sales numbers.
Larry Norman both produced and played guitar on the album.
Point of trivia is that T-Bone Burnett joined the album as a bass player.

Actually the Mighty T Bone was Tim Ayers from the band Mason Proffit.
I’ve been curious about his identity for years. I had the chance to ask Randy on a couple of occasions, but more important matters kept coming up.
