Jorn's solo band's line-up is the same as in the last albums The Duke and Unlocking the Past, with the exception of bassist Morty Black who was replaced by Pagan's Mind bassist Steinar Krokmo (who contributed to Jorn's solo records in the past). The album was recorded on the first show Jorn ever did in the US, on 16 September 2006 where he headlined the Progpower USA festival in Atlanta.

The album features four live cover songs: "Are You Ready" and "Cold Sweat" by Thin Lizzy, "Straight Through the Heart" by Ronnie James Dio and "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple, as well as medley of covers to five Whitesnake songs, including the hit single "Here I Go Again". In the album, Jorn performs many of his solo songs, as well as songs from his time with bands such as Masterplan, Beyond Twilight and The Snakes.

Additionally, the album features three studio tracks: a new re-made and re-recorded version to "Out to Every Nation" from the album Out to Every Nation, a Black Sabbath covers medley featuring the songs "Lonely Is the Word" and "Letters from Earth", which previously appeared on the covers album Unlocking the Past, and "Sacrificial Feelings", a track originally from the Once Bitten album of The Snakes, which was also re-made and re-recorded.

On January 23, 2009, the album was released on DVD.
