Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy",
Muddy Waters' "I Can't Be Satisfied", and
Chuck Berry's "Talkin' 'bout You."
Released in 1976, the album reached number 116 on the
Billboard charts. In 1996, RCA released the CD box set Hot Tuna in a Can which included a remastered version of this album, along with remasters of the albums Hot Tuna, First Pull Up, Then Pull Down, Burgers and America's Choice
