The album's best-known song is "Political", which was the first song to gain widespread airplay for the band on campus radio and CBC Radio One. When the band evolved into an alternative rock group in the 1990s, their 1991 album Go Figure included a controversial revamp of that song.
It was the band's first album with Hugh McMillan. McMillan found the tour to support the album draining, and took a temporary hiatus from the band; he was replaced by Daniel Lapp and Linda McRae. However, McMillan returned before the band's next album. Lapp left on McMillan's return, but McRae stayed with the band until 1996.
Lyrics and music are credited to various combinations of the band members: John Mann, Geoffrey Kelly and Hugh McMillan. Arrangements are credited to the band. Former band member J. Knutson also receives an arranging credit on "Drinking Man". As with all of the band's early folk albums, several songs are arranged around traditional Irish and Scottishreels.
