The resulting album featured numerous covers of the works of contemporary acts such as the Beatles and James Brown. The album was also heavily influenced by the death of Jimi Hendrix in 1970, who had been friends with Randy since they played together in Jimmy James and the Blue Flames. Comes on 180 gram vinyl.
