The album was recorded mostly in sessions between August and September 1970. Its sound is in a similar vein as the band's more widely known later recordings, such as 1973's Dixie Chicken and 1978's Waiting for Columbus. The record features Little Feat's initial line-up, with Roy Estrada on bass. It was the first of eight albums by the band before its first break up in 1979. The cover shows the muralVenice in the Snow, painted by the L. A. Fine Arts Squad in 1970, in Venice, Los Angeles.
The album was a commercial flop, selling very poorly. However, critical reception was very positive. In 2007, the album was released as a gold CD through the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.[5]
