The album is a mixture of live and studio recordings and is a mixture of traditional songs, original recordings and covers of contemporary songs including "I Fought the Law" by Sonny Curtis and Gonna Do What I Have to Do by Phil Ochs.
Two covers exist, 'I Fought the Law' (originally written by Sonny Curtis of The Crickets in 1959) and 'My Sitar' which is an acoustic/military tabla version of My Star, the top ten chart song written by Ian Brown and Aziz Ibrahim.
