From Rockesteria: 'After a stint with the Boston Tea Party, lead guitarist Michael Stevens began looking for another project. Perhaps inspired by Capitol Record's success with a power trio (e.g. Grand Funk), Stevens decided to build a hard rock trio. He eventually ended up with a lineup consisting of singer/drummer Don Francisco who had previously been a member of the California based Altee and Crowfoot and bassist John Livingston Tunison IV had been in an outfit called Manitoba Hugger.
Stevens and company attracted the attention of producers Robert Cavallo and Joseph Rufallo who'd turned acts like Little Feet and The Weather Report into big names. The two signed Highway Robbery to their management roster and quickly approached Bill Halverson about producing the band's debut album. Signed by RCA Victor and teamed with Halverson in the production role, all hyperbole aside, these guy managed to write and record one of the great and overlooked albums of the 1970's."
