The great thing about a solo album from someone like , of , is that quality musicianship and high-profile guest appearances are all but a given. The unfortunate aspect, though, is that the bassist was never known for his songwriting. In the case of , the first claim holds true (with guest appearances by , , and , the album is a solid affair musically), while the issue of 's songwriting ability leaves the listener pleasantly surprised. Granted, there aren't any moments where you ask yourself, "why didn't this song appear on a album?" but tracks such as "I Wanna Get Me a Gun," "White Lightnin'," and "I'll Pull You Thro'" are propelled with a laid-back groove that is surprisingly catchy. And, unlike 's famous stone-faced stage demeanor, his singing is loose and joy-filled. Though these types of albums can be self-absorbed affairs, is meant to be a relaxed, unpretentious outlet for the compositions that would never see the light of day in 's main band -- and, as a credit to the bassist, it comes off exactly that way.
