The album was produced by Dann Huff, Mark Bright and Nathan Chapman. “I’m very grateful to have had the chance to work with three of the most talented producers in the business on this new record,” Jimmy says. “Each day in the studio was a unique and awesome experience. I’m so lucky to be able to do what I love for a living. I don’t take any day for granted.” The title cut and current single is Jimmy’s version of the pop classic by Daryl Hall and John Oates, and features the duo on backing vocals.
