The album was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Erwin Musper, who had just come off a short stint mixing some of Van Halen III. Tracks: Slam Dunk! Blacklight Counter-Blast Lose the Dress (Keep the Shoes) Little Texas King of the Hill Going Places
Wa Wa Zat!! Relentless Indeedido Right Tool for the Job Tight Weekend with the Babysitter Black Sand.

Some of the lyrics to "Lose the Dress (Keep the Shoes)" were first printed in Dave's autobiography Crazy from the Heat.
