It was released in 1972.

Critical reception

On AllMusic, Jana Pendragon wrote, "Again, a groundbreaking release from the wildest band in country music during the '70s.... With originals and some oldies, the Commander and his band make a big sound that is still reverberating through time.... As with Lost in the Ozone, this is top-flight music in every regard that shows another side to this great band."

Robert Christgau wrote, "This rocks and wails with almost all the coherence and feeling of the rockabilly it takes off from..."
