High, Low and In Between Van Zandt's previous album "Delta Momma Blues", which features very sparse arrangements, "High Low and in Between" incorporates a folk-rock edge. Many of the themes on "High, Low and In Between" deal with moral dilemmas, with songs that celebrate both the pleasure of sin and the joy of salvation. In the comical "No Deal" the drunken narrator falls in love with a girl who has "barely turned fifteen" and declares if Heaven has no whiskey and women, "I'm gonna take my chances down below and of that you can be sure," while "Highway Kind" is a dark minor key ballad
