Spence is an ex-member of Moby Grape who had gone a bit whack-a-doodle and tried to break into one of his bandmates' hotel rooms with an axe. Following that incident, he was sent to a mental hospital for a time and ended up writing a collection of songs.
Spence was given a massive advance from his record company, so he bought a motorcycle, then headed down to Nashville to record this album.
It's interesting collection of ambling, occasionally rambling tracks that. Set against the backdrop of muisc in the 60s, the songs don't actually seem that mad or weird... just nicely so.
