Writing for Allmusic, music critic Murrday Fisher wrote of the album "... as is characteristic of his style, it's his instrumental work on cuts like "Peg Leg," "Little Martha," and a mellow version of the old classic "Twilight Time" that show the artist in peak form... Definitely recommended." [1]
All songs by Leo Kottke except as noted.
This is just to note that many of the track timings are incorrect as printed on the cover and reproduced here. The primary example is "Roy Autry," which is only 0:49, not 6:25. Total album time is 53:14, [3] not 60:02.

The song first appeared as the final studio track on the Allman Brothers Band's fourth album, Eat a Peach, released in 1972. The track was recorded in October 1971, a few weeks before Duane Allman's death in a motorcycle accident.
