The album covers ten songs written by American country and folk singer-songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker, who died from throat cancer on October 23, 2020, at a hospital in Austin, Texas at the age of 78, paying tribute to the late musician.

[1] Lee Zimmerman of American Songwriter found that the album "serves the purpose well by turning the spotlight on an artist that deserves greater attention within the Americana arena.

[5] Nick Hasted of Uncut wrote: "'Mr Bojangles', sung with cornpone syrup by Dylan, here earthily returns to the drunk-tank cell where Walker met its subject, a broken-down, alcoholic tap-dancer his song invests with heel-clicking magic.

[8] In his mixed review for Classic Rock, Stuart Bailie stated: "he delves into lesser-known parts, like "Wheel", a 1973 song about tragic, rural cycles, and he sings "Old Road", as a sparse holler, akin to the original.

Other songs celebrate the 'gonzo country' aims of Jerry Jeff, but "Mr Bojangles" and his worn-out shoes is still best in show".
