Daddy, When Is Mama Comin Home? was produced by Michael Robert Frank and Johnson.[5] It was recorded in Chicago, with Johnson taking a year to work on it.[6] Frost played harmonica on the album; Sam Carr contributed on drums.[7] Palmer wrote the album liner notes.[6] The album's sound was more polished, with Johnson using a horn section on some tracks.[8] "Mr. U.S. A.I.D.S." was one of the first blues songs to address the impact of AIDS.[9] "Doodley Squat" was influenced by Latin funk.[10] "Northwest Airline Blues" is a salute to Johnson's preferred airline.[11] "United States Got Us in a Bad Shape" is about joblessness and failing family farms.[12]
