Cabbage Towne, formerly known as The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, came together following the tragic drowning death of guitarist Gerry Hall in October 1975. A small note on the back cover mentions that Hall "will always be remembered." Mickey Andrews, who played the dobro and the steel guitar, and Randy McDonald, who was the bassist, recruited Randy Lovely (actually Levely, a misprint on the album)  on guitar and Don Jerrett on drums.

The album, which came out in 1976 and was produced and arranged by Toronto music man Art Snider for his Periwinkle label, is straight ahead country music with a little groove sprinkled here and there. The two featured tracks are the more uptempo songs on the album, Buddy Holly's classic "That'll Be The Day" and "Sleepwalk", the famous Santo & Johnny instrumental recorded in 1959.
