Waylon is best remembered for the cover of Chuck Berry's "Brown Eyed Handsome Man," which climbed to #3 on the Billboard country charts, Jennings third Top 5 solo hit.

According to Waylon's autobiography, the song "Yellow Haired Woman" was written about Barbara Rood, his third wife.

As Joe Nick Patoski notes in his memoir Willie Nelson, "In addition to doing more and more of the songs he wanted to do rather than what the producer chose, Waylon wanted to produce himself and was demanding control of where the records were made, the song selection, and the artwork that decorated the album cover."

Waylon also includes a duet with Anita Carter on the Merle Haggard composition "All of Me Belongs to You."

Jennings had covered two Haggard songs previously on his 1968 LP Jewels but, as he recounted in his autobiography years later, he became wary of the country star after a card game, recalling, "Merle Haggard and his manager, Fuzzy Owen, got me in a poker game and cleaned me out.
