The album was recorded around the same time as Warren Zevon's album Sentimental Hygiene, for which Zevon had enlisted Bill Berry, Peter Buck and Mike Mills of R.E.M. as players. The musicians also recorded this set of songs, mainly cover versions of old blues tunes, reputedly during late-night drunken recording sessions, not originally intending them for release. According to Zevon and Mills, Zevon's manager made the decision to publish the album without consulting the musicians, creating a public rift between Zevon and the musicians.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
