The album features a long cover of Willie Dixon's "What in the world", contains eight tracks, and is described as having a 'faux-vintage' production. Review notes strong organ and backing-vocal arrangements on tracks such as "What you're made of" and a gospel-tinged "Oxford Ms.".

The review praises Davy Knowles' third solo album, Three Miles From Avalon (2016), as a modern blues record with warm vocals and strong Telecaster-led guitar work. The production is described as "faux-vintage" and the album contains both expansive arrangements and a long Willie Dixon cover. Recommended for fans of visceral, traditional-sounding blues-rock.
