The short ten-song live album was recorded as part of the Mountain Stage radio series in late 1990 and features a fairly generic set list that Nyro stuck to for much of her later career. The songs are a mix of songs from her later career as well as some of her more familiar songs and soul medleys.

The album was released on the independent label Blue Plate Music to mixed reaction from fans and critics, but it paved the way for the following year's posthumous album of new material, Angel in the Dark.
