Background
After over two years of touring throughout the world, the Hooters picked up new instruments and ideas on their travels, creating an album that was a departure from their past work.
"Johnny B" and "Satellite" both charted at #61 on the Billboard Hot 100 when released as singles.
"Karla with a K" came about from simple jamming on the road through Louisiana. The song itself was inspired by an Irish street singer the band met in New Orleans. The song was released in the UK as a single and charted at #81.
Toward the middle of the song "One Way Home," a guitar riff from the Beatles' "Taxman" can be heard.
A different version of "Fightin' on the Same Side" was originally recorded on the band's 1983 independent label album Amore.
The music for "Washington's Day" was written by Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman when they were on tour, while producer Rick Chertoff and a longtime friend from Arista Records, Willie Nile, wrote the lyrics.
In late 1987, the Hooters experienced their first major commercial success in Europe. After heavy airplay in the United Kingdom, "Satellite" became a hit single, reaching No. 22, with the band performing on the popular British television show Top of the Pops on December 3, where they would meet one of their musical idols, Paul McCartney.
The picture for the album cover was taken on a farm on Long Island, New York.
