The title track comes from the band's previous album, Hearts of Oak, as is "The High Party" (re-recorded as a solo version this time around).

"Bleeding Powers" and "Loyal to My Sorrowful Country" are given full band treatment on 2004's Shake the Sheets and 2005's Sharkbite Sessions, respectively.

Leo includes three (solo) covers on this album — tributes to those who influenced his musical stylings.

This styling of "Dirty Old Town" was made famous by The Pogues, while "Ghosts" and "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" were created by The Jam and Split Enz, respectively.

Instead of paying, Leo reverted to his experimental style to allow "Ghosts" and "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" to remain separate.
