It was his second release and his first on High Tone Records. It contained two cover versions: Johnny Guitar Watson's "Don't Touch Me" and Eddie Floyd's "Got to Make a Comeback".

Bad Influence" as written by and Michael Vannice Robert Cray. Call it bad My bad my bad influence Big town holds me back Big town skims my mind Small minds wear me down Spreading salt on fertile ground Honest pleasures now forsaken Drastic measures to be taken Can't accept your difference They call it bad influence CHORUS Free mind, free soul It's time for liberation to flow Free mind, free soul.
