Freddie King recorded this album in Cincinnati in 1963, during the surf rock craze. Although King was known for his electric blues, the album explores a lighter, rhythmic instrumental sound influenced by the surf music of the time.
The album was released by King Records, the label King had been with since 1960. It includes instrumental covers of popular songs and original compositions, showcasing the guitarist's versatility outside traditional blues.
Despite its title, the album was not a major commercial success and is now considered a rarity in Freddie King's discography. It reflects the label's attempt to capitalize on the surf trend, though King never abandoned his bluesy style.
