Loudon Wainwright III and producer Dick Connette immersed themselves in the Poole canon and they also penned nine new songs about the life and times of the country music pioneer. Connette and Wainwright drew inspiration from Kinney Rorrer's definitive biography of Poole, Ramblin' Blues, and even visited Poole's hometown of Spray, NC, with Kinney as their tour guide. They also, however, allowed themselves a little narrative poetic license.
