The album is Young's seventh with Crazy Horse. Co-produced by David Briggs, the album is Young's last with his long-time producer, who died the following year.

Although the rest of the album was recorded before that event, the album takes on a somber, subdued tone throughout.

Dreams are the only thing that we've got left to hang on to."
