This is a transformational album that expands the production team around the Memphis recordings and features 12 songs that put classic rock and R&B at the forefront.
This album, which peaked at number two in the UK album chart and was recorded at Ardent Studios, featured multiple producers including Tom Dowd and is released on Creation Records, clearly showing influences from classic rock, blues and R&B.
A major feature of this album is the different production methods used for each song. The lead tracks "Jailbird" and "Rocks" emphasize the driving force of rock 'n' roll, clearly distancing themselves from the sampling-based approach prominent on their previous album, "Screamadelica." Tracks like the title track "Give Out But Don't Give Up" and "Funky Jam" employ funk-oriented compositions, including vocals by Dennis Johnson and George Clinton, creating a musical range within the album. Showcasing a performance-driven approach to classic rock and blues, this album marks a shift in the band's direction during their creative period.
