Major songs from this LP include "Wine" and "Just Got In From Texas," later included on a blues collection.

The blues-soul-rock band made their live debut at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and released their debut album, A Long Time Comin', the next year. Miles sometimes sang lead vocals for the group in addition to playing drums. The group broke up after their second album and Miles formed the Buddy Miles Express, with Jim McCarty, later the guitarist for Cactus.
