 The creativity tap appears quite rusty, with the work consisting largely of calligraphic southern rock compositions, correct and gritty but faded in terms of melodies, harmonic progressions, arrangements, and guitar ideas.

 Thanks to these two strokes of savvy flattery, the album moves fairly well on the charts, much better than the previous albums.

 Perhaps it's the worst album by the Outlaws, although studded with suspensions and reorganizations.

The Outlaws' 1978 album 'Playin' To Win' marks a disappointing departure from their earlier successes.
