All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. Laidlaw received some valuable assistance from Motley Crue, not only gaining national exposure as their opening act on tour in 1998-99, but also signing with Nikki Sixx's Americoma imprint for their debut album, First Big Picnic. The band's tuneful hard rock isn't really anything groundbreaking, but it is pretty well done; even if there are a few weak tracks, that's to be expected on a debut album. Bands don't have to be entirely original to be solid performers, and Laidlaw sets themselves up nicely for further excursions into this category. ~ Steve Huey Recorded at Rover Recording, Burbank, California and Tree Sound Studio, Atlanta, Georgia. The Honkettes: Dale Krantz-Rossington, Carol Chase (background vocals). Laidlaw: Craig DeFalco (vocals, guitar); Buzzy James (vocals, slide guitar); Tommy Roberts (vocals); Michael Norton (bass); Darrell Millar (drums).
