This posthumous album was released in 1970 by Avco Embassy Records, after Louis Armstrong's death on July 6, 1971. The record compiles Armstrong's performances of country and western songs, although the original sessions date from earlier years, possibly the 1960s.
The repertoire includes tracks such as 'Blue Yodel No. 9' (originally recorded with Jimmie Rodgers in 1930) and versions of classics like 'Ramblin' Rose' and 'You Are My Sunshine'. Production and arrangements are not clearly documented, and the album received mixed reviews for its unconventional blend of styles.
The cover shows Armstrong wearing a cowboy hat and holding a guitar, an image contrasting with his usual jazz persona. The album is now a discographic rarity, with few official reissues, and is sought after by collectors for its uniqueness within Armstrong's catalog.
