Barry Goudreau played guitar for Boston, appearing on the band's first two albums. After Boston's second album and tour, Goudreau recorded a solo album featuring two other members of Boston: singer Brad Delp and drummer Sib Hashian. Future Boston singer Fran Cosmo also sang on the album, trading lead vocals with Delp. Goudreau's guitar on the album often duplicated Boston's sound, which Boston leader Tom Scholz had always said was his own creation and that Goudreau only had a minor role on the Boston albums.
