In 1997 it was rereleased by Warner Brothers containing two additional songs - "Watching The Trains Go By" (by Dewey Oldham and Wallace Pennington) and "Old Man Willis" (by Tony Joe White himself) was the second single.

The album contained the track "Rainy Night In Georgia" popularized by R&B vocalist Brook Benton in 1970.

The song has been covered by a number of musicians, including Ray Charles, Otis Rush, Randy Crawford, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Amos Garrett, Hank Williams, Jr., Shelby Lynne, John Holt, Nicky Thomas, by the duet of Conway Twitty and Sam Moore, Aaron Neville, and reggae band The Gladiators.

Most recently indie folk-rock band Hem released a cover on No Word from Tom (2006).

David Ruffin recorded a cover version of the song the same year as Benton; however, Motown for unknown reasons did not release the album.
