Sambora's second solo album features a wider sonic palette than his 1991 debut Stranger in This Town, touching on acoustic arrangements, country flavors, and soul-searching lyricism. The lyrics reflect a period of personal growth and domestic life?shedding the strict persona of a Bon Jovi guitar hero to focus on identity, fatherhood, and roots. Standout tracks: the blues-infused single "Hard Times Come Easy", the roots-driven opener "Made in America" with its distinct Americana/country vibe, "If God Was a Woman" and "Undiscovered Soul".
