Paul Cotton's country-rock tendencies step to the forefront over co-leader Kal David's blues-rock on this second, and final, album by Illinois Speed Press. Following its release, Cotton left to fill the slot left by Jim Messina's departure from Poco, later leading that band to its greatest commercial success. Duet contains the original recording of "Bad Weather," a Cotton composition that became a popular standard in Poco's repertoire after its inclusion on From the Inside in 1971.
