Background

This “live” album was tweaked in the studio by Edmunds, who is known for his production perfectionism. It was to be his last solo effort for Columbia, and mostly features songs already associated with Edmunds. Two songs were previously un-recorded by him, “Paralyzed” and “The Wanderer.” {{cite book |title= Rockabilly: A Forty-Year Journey|last= Poore |first= Billy |year= 1998|publisher= Hal Leonard Corporation |isbn= 9780793591428|page= 229 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eSNu3sirl7cC&pg=PA229|accessdate=November 22, 2011}}
