Walker recorded this album (live and in the studio) in Belize, an Island paradise whose Jimmy Buffett-like pleasures apparently revved up his creative juices.

His own songs are less nostalgic and reflective than most of his previous 1990s output, although the title song does have something of an autumnal cast.

The meat of the album, however, is an array of exceptional covers.

Walker pays tribute to one of his major influences in "Fred Neil Medley," a beautiful mix of Neil's "The Dolphins" and "Everybody's Talkin'." He gets rowdy with Robert Parker's 1960s R&B classic "Barefoot," and does a surprisingly moving cover of the Cascade's 1963 doo-wop standard "Rhythm of the Rain" (reprised in a bluegrass version on an unlisted bonus track).
