Ryan Adams ' eighth official album, and his third album released in 2005 (although the preceding two were credited to Ryan Adams and The Cardinals). The album was produced byEthan Johns , who also produced "Heartbreaker" and "Gold".

Critics were mixed on the album: Cokemachineglow gave it a 90%, while Rolling Stone only gave it 2.5 stars (out of 5). The album has sold 81,000 copies in the United States and 153,000 worldwide.
