The majority of the songs here are unreleased. The exceptions are tracks 6 and 7 (from a Steve Cropper album) and track 10, 11 and 12 (which are bonus tracks).
I mentioned with the last album that a key moment in her comeback was when she sang a duet with Jon Bon Jovi for President Obama's inauguration. I didn't include that version of "A Change Is Gonna Come" on that previous album, because it already had a studio version of that song. But I'm starting this album out with the unreleased, live duet version.
All the other songs come from concert bootlegs. However, the sound quality is pretty good, though it varies some. They're generally covers of famous songs.
Speaking of sound quality, unfortunately, there were two live and unreleased Beatles covers that did quite make the sound quality cut. So those have been included here only as bonus tracks.
This album is 45 minutes long, not including the bonus tracks.

In my opinion, the cover kind of looks like a painting, especially with the background colors. But it's actually an unchanged photo taken from a concert in London in June 2010.
