Recorded on the Turks & Caicos Islands in February 2020, produced by Richie and Adrian and mixed by Kevin "Caveman" Shirley, this nine track opus is a consummate collaboration between these two highly respected musicians who co-wrote all the songs and also share lead vocals and trade off on guitar and bass duties throughout the record.

Exploding with powerful melodies & harmonies, the album embodies the spirited attitude of 70's classic rock with a melting-pot of influences ranging from blues, hard rock, traditional R&B and more, blending the pair's backgrounds and life experiences to result in a thoroughly contemporary sound.

The record features special guest performances by Adrian's fellow Iron Maiden bandmate Nicko McBrain on drums for the track Solar Fire, and Richie's longstanding friend and touring partner Tal Bergman on drums for You Don't Know Me, I Wanna Stay and 'Til Tomorrow, with Richie picking up the sticks on the other five songs.
