This represented both an example of Chapman's artistry on the Stick, and also showed other musicians what was possible on the Stick. Though not a top-selling album, it inspired many musicians to pick up the Stick.

The track "Back Yard" appears in the Alan Smithee version of the 1984 film Dune.

The entire album was recorded without overdubs. It included Bruce Gary on drums, Josh Hanna on vocal effects and Dan Chapman (Emmett's brother) on harmonica.

Initially released on vinyl, the album was remastered and released on CD in 1999.
