The tracklisting on sleeve and disc lacks the '?' at the end of 'Have You Ever Been Lonely?'.

This album was originally released by Matador Records on vinyl and cd. This was later issued by Fat Possum on CD.

This album is a collaboration between the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, R.L. Burnside and Kenny Brown record in one "afternoon of 2-6-96 at Lunati Farms in Holly Springs, MS."

The musical arrangements used on 2 Brothers and Tojo Told Hitler would later evolve into the song Cool Vee released by the
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion on the 2Kindsa Love UK CD single, a Cool Vee French Promo CD and the Japanese release of Now I Got Worry.

Have You Ever Been Lonely? is a jam based on Vacuum of Loneliness originally released on
the 1992 self-titled album.

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion would later collaborate with R.L. Burnside on Alice May and Highway 7 from his 1997 album Mr Wizard.
