Zion, near Minor Hill, Tennessee. As regards the song's title, it refers to the community of Barton, Alabama, a few miles from White's hometown of Muscle Shoals.[citation needed]
The track received positive reviews. Phil Mongredien of The Guardian commented that "the mood of reverie [in the album] is only broken by the raucous, insistent title track."[2] Louis Corner of Digital Spy wrote that the song was "charged with a Deep South strum line", and "[managed] to encompass alternative rock-influences that makes it accessible to any countryphobe."[3]
