The members of the band are:

• 'Cousin' Kenny Vaughan - Guitar
• 'Handsome' Harry Stinson - Drums
• 'Brother' Brian Glenn - Bass (who would later be replaced by 'The Apostle' Paul Martin, who was subsequently replaced by 'Professor' Chris Scruggs)

Though the album was a commercial success, Stuart later claimed he was unhappy with the album, and said he was "guilty of trying to have a hit".

The track "Too Much Month (At The End of the Money)" was originally recorded by the writers of the song (Bob DiPiero, Dennis Robbins, and John Scott Sherrill) when they formed the band Billy Hill. Their version was a hit in 1989 and it was the only Top 40 hit for them, it peaked at No. 25 on the charts and it was released as their debut single and lead off single to their album "I Am Just a Rebel".
