Martin sings, Klett plays guitar, Bardi Martin holds down bass and Scott Mercado drums, and the band produced and mixed it with Kelly Gray, who also engineered, with Jon Plum assisting. It's a band hitting its stride in the thick of the flannel era, and the album it came from went on to be certified four times platinum in the US, mixed reviews and all.
