This is Emerson's first album. He developed the songs out of a desire to heal broken hearts.
The rhythms on this album are a combination of funky, bluesy and jazzy. The saxophone accompaniment provides a very smooth and lively tone, helping to transform the sad feelings expressed by the lyrics.
Emerson composed his songs to help people transcend their overwhelming feelings of sadness and loss through rhythm and emotion. The best examples of how he expresses these feelings are in the title track 'Ball and Chain' and 'Drowning in my own Tears'.
