リンク・レイのスワンプ期73年作、スワンプ第2弾です。
Sameタイトルの前作が鳥小屋を改造した"Wray's Shack 3 Tracks"でプリミティブに録音されたのに対して、本作はプロデューサーにトーマス・ジェファーソン・ケイを立て、サンフランシスコでのちゃんとした（？）スタジオ録音になっています。
メンバーも超豪華。ジェリー・ガルシアが4曲で参加しています。
個人的には前作の"Wray's Shack 3 Tracks"路線の方が好きですが、スワンプサウンドのイディオム満載の本作も重厚で文句なしのスワンプ傑作。
この人のヴォーカルは実に味のあるものでこの手の音にぴったりはまるんですよね。
