Early James' distinctive vocals, often compared to Tom Waits, deliver a mix of blues, rock, folk, and country influences. Tracks like "Steely Knives" and "Rag Doll" showcase his ability to blend genres seamlessly, creating a sound that is both raw and captivating. The album's production, led by Dan Auerbach, emphasizes a live, one-take recording approach, adding to its gritty and authentic feel.
