While these are mostly older songs of Jerry Jeff's, they are all new recordings. As Walker explains in the liner notes, sometime around 1985 he decided to bring his music up to date, and he put together a series of (mostly) acoustic sessions where he mixed old songs and new. There difference here is the benefit of state-of-the-art sonics which result in a crystal clear view of Walker's low key folkie side.
In hindsight, the album seems like a classic Unplugged session just slightly ahead its time. Highpoints include a version of "Mr. Bojangles" in which Walker, miraculously, does not sound even a bit jaded (plus there's a jaw-dropping electric guitar solo by longtime band mate John Inmon) and a fun take on the considerably less iconic "I Got Lucky Last Night".
