This is the 2nd Generation of Chinatown. Damon Johnson and Eddie Boyd had left the group and added were new members Scott Collier (later to be the drummer for Brother Cane) on drums and Will Owsley on guitar. Will at the time was Amy Grant's guitar player and would later have a Grammy Nominated album of his own. Also added was the young Buck Johnson, who is now a songwriter and member of the country group Whiskey Falls with Damon Johnson.

Later another arrangement of the band would include Eric Dover (Jellyfish, Slashes Snakepit) and Jeff Mooneyham (Hillbilly Romeos)
