This marks the debut of Chicago area singer/songwriter Dean Goldstein. Bad Examples' leader Ralph Covert produced it, with Shoes' Jeff Murphy working the board. Covert co-wrote several of the songs and appears on several tracks. Most of the cuts feature Bad Examples' members Tom O'Brien (guitar), Pickles Piekarski (bass), Steve Wozny (organ) and John Richardson (drums), who also plays the kit for Shoes. Other musicians include The Insiders' John Rice on mandolin, guitar and ukelele.

Dean is from the classic school of pop songwriting with bright hooks and a variety of feels. He's in his early 20's, but has been performing since his early teens. Lyrically he's straight-forward but he looks beyond the surface of romantic relationships for deeper meanings in life. This is 3-minute-and-under material that sticks with you.

Bad Examples fans: you'll love this record, if you don't already have it in your collection! Dean will be creating his own audience through performances with his band, Coin, throughout the Midwest in the years to come.
