The album is Melissa Etheridge's fifteenth studio record and her first original material since her 2014 album, This Is Me, following her critically acclaimed Stax tribute record, Memphis Rock and Soul. Produced by longtime collaborator John Shanks, the album features some of her most honest songwriting to date, paired with beautiful instrumentation and her signature roaring guitar.

Van Morrison simultaneously hand-picked a selection of rhythm and blues classics and recorded a set of new self-written songs. It's an album that features raw, intimate interpretations of some of the cornerstones of rock n' roll alongside five new numbers.
