It was released June 24, 1997, on Epic Records Nashville. The single "The Swing" was a number 31 on the Billboard country charts in 1997. "Naked to the Pain" and "Little Blue Dot" were also released as singles, although neither reached the Top 40. The title song was previously recorded by Doug Supernaw on his 1995 album You Still Got Me. Critical receptionThom Owens of Allmusic rated the album three stars out of five, calling the album's content "uneven" but saying that Bonamy "is singing better than ever".[1] Larry Stephens of Country Standard Time was less favorable, saying that Bonamy "sounds like a pop singer trying to do country". He thought that "Daddy Never Had a Chance in Hell" was the best-written song, and that the title track was "touching".[2] Giving it 3 out of 5 stars, David Simons of New Country wrote that "One has to wade through the occasionally predictable slices of hokum[…]to get to the good stuff, but there's enough of that to successfully get Bonamy and his listeners to the end of this record."[3] Track listing{{tracklist| headline = CD | all_writing = | title1 = Roots and Wings | writer1 = Bill Anderson; Skip Ewing | length1 = 3:58 | title2 = The Swing | writer2 = Robert Ellis Orrall; Bob Regan | length2 = 3:23 | title3 = Naked to the Pain | writer3 = Don Pfrimmer; Richard Wold | length3 = 3:45 | title4 = I Knew I'd Need My Heart Someday | writer4 = James Bonamy; Pat Bunch; Doug Johnson | length4 = 2:35 | title5 = Daddy Never Had a Chance in Hell | writer5 = Roger Springer; Tony Martin | length5 = 3:33 | title6 = The Heart Stops the Clock | writer6 = Pat Bunch; Chuck Jones | length6 = 3:05 | title7 = Some Things I Know | writer7 = Sally Barris; Burton Collins | length7 = 3:05 | title8 = Long as I Got You | writer8 = Skip Ewing; Don Sampson | length8 = 2:32 | title9 = Little Blue Dot | writer9 = Susan Longacre; Rick Giles | length9 = 4:28 | title10 = When God Dreams | writer10 = Pat Bunch; Doug Johnson | length10 = 3:04 | total_length = 33:28 }} Personnel
