The album features members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band as the backing band. It is considered by many to be Hunter's best recording.<br /><br />The title was dreamed up by co-producer Mick Ronson which he had planned for one of his solo albums. Hunter loved the title so much that he offered Ronson co-writing credit on the first single "Just Another Night" in exchange for the use of the title for the album.
