The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings comments that the album captures Guy “at his most idiomatic”.

[3] First released on CD in 1988, also on JSP, but with an alternate track list, titled Live at the Checkerboard Lounge.

Two more tracks were added to the CD version, "Don't Answer the Door" featuring lead vocals by L.C.

"I've Got A Right To Love My Woman" fades out at 8:05 on the original vinyl, but the CD includes the full-length version.

The music of "The Dollar Done Fell" is based on the funky standard "Chicken Heads".
