Fear Not the Obvious

The album was recorded and produced by band member Eric Ambel at drummer Terry Anderson's father's barn in rural North Carolina.^[5] It was released about five years after it was recorded.^[6]

No Depression wrote that the band sound "like every band that ever staggered through three sets a night for all the beer they could drink."^[7] The Washington Post wrote that "the Yayhoos go for the most reliable basics of rock 'n' roll -- a whomping 4/4 beat, lyrics full of barroom jokes and pick-up lines, noisy guitars, three chords and a cloud of dust."^[8] Exclaim! wrote: "It's actually a little unnerving how easily Baird and Ambel are able to update the classic Faces vibe when contemporaries like the Black Crowes seem to labour over it."^[9] Greil Marcus described the sound as "a foursome with bad teeth in a fearless stumble into the Faces' A Nod Is as Good as a Wink ... to a Blind Horse."^[10]
