Recorded in 1972 at Mercury Records studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Produced by Jerry Kennedy, the album continues the country rock direction Lewis was exploring at the time.
The title is a rhetorical question about the future of his piano style. It includes songs by writers such as Mickey Newbury and Dallas Frazier, and shows Lewis in a more reflective and melancholic tone.
The album did not reach high positions on the Billboard charts, but is considered by some critics as an underrated work within his 1970s discography. It was reissued on CD decades later.
