It was released in 1995 and features performances by Frisell, bassist Kermit Driscoll and drummer Joey Baron.[1] The album is designed as accompaniment to Buster Keaton's first two silent film classics, The High Sign (1921) (tracks 1–9) and One Week (1920) (tracks 10–19). It was released at the same time as another album by Frisell of Keaton soundtracks, Go West: Music for the Films of Buster Keaton (1995).
