Of the album tracks, four are originals by Narada Michael Walden and one by Jan Hammer. According to popular belief Max Middleton contributed the homage to Led Zeppelin, "Led Boots", however the keyboardist said it had nothing to do with Led Zeppelin. Jeff Beck chose to interpret the Charles Mingus ode to saxophonist Lester Young, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", from the classic 1959 jazz album Mingus Ah Um. These last two tracks were long-time staples of Beck's performance repertoire.
