Born (1949) Robert Noonan in Buffalo, New York, Willie Nile studied philosophy at the University of Buffalo before heading for Greenwich Village, determined to make a name for himself as a latter-day troubadour.

Peter Moshay, the head engineer at the venue, recorded the show and upon playback Willie had to find another pair of socks to put on because it blew his socks off.

Johnny Pisano is on bass and backing vocals; Jimi K. Bones is on lead guitar and backing vocals; Jon Weber is on drums; and Willie plays guitar, piano and sings. It's a collection of songs that covers a wide range of Nile’s career. The recordings were mixed and mastered by Dave Darlington at Bass Hit Recordings in NYC.
