Shannon's eleventh studio album, produced by Tom Petty with the Heartbreakers serving as the backing band, was widely seen as a comeback record after years away from the charts. A cover of 'Sea of Love' from the album reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it turned out to be the last album of new material Shannon released during his lifetime.
