The title song was performed by folk singing group The Limeliters.
Holzman had the initial concept for the album, and hired Alex Hassilev, a member of The Limeliters, to produce it.
They brought on tenor Red Grammer, who stayed with the Limeliters for the next 10 years.
Elektra Records, then emerging as one of the most prominent American independent folk-oriented labels, made its first move into the territory with the Limeliters, whose self-titled LP gave the company its first Top Forty album.
