Local musicians were used to back Spencer on all tracks, because he believed that "they have retained the 'purity' of the old blues in their playing".[3] Most of the tracks were self-penned, with the addition of covers of songs by Elmore James and Slim Rhodes.[1]

The album was produced by Kjetil Draugedalen and Gaute Fredriksen, and the executive producer was Jostein Forsberg.[4] It was mixed at the Supermono Studio, Oslo, and was mastered by Audun Strype at Strype Audio, Oslo.
