"I Am Just a Rebel" was previously recorded by Robbins when he and fellow songwriters, Bob DiPiero and John Scott Sherrill, formed the group Billy Hill on the 1989 album of the same name. It would later be recorded twice in 1994 by Confederate Railroad on their second album Notorious and by Joy Lynn White on her second album Wild Love.

Critical reception

Billboard gave the album a "New & Noteworthy Review" calling it "Rebel-rousing, blue-collar country music in its finest form."^[2]

Robert Christgau gave the album an A- rating, comparing the work to John Anderson.^[3]

Brian Mansfield of AllMusic called it "Redneck rock that lives and dies by the slide guitar, think of Hank Williams Jr. with a sneakier sense of humor."^[4]
