As the raunchy title track indicates, this collection is a return to the music that first inspired him. Sounding like a contemporary Lowell George on songs like "Just Lucky That Way," Parnell is also an expert interpreter of country ballads like "Old Soul" and jam band-style rock & roll like "Don't Water It Down" and "You Can't Lose 'Em All."
