ABC Records executive Ed Michel suggested having Hooker perform at Soledad, with the intention of releasing a live album of the performance. In the years prior, other artists had performed or recorded prison concerts, most notably Frank Sinatra and Count Basie at San Quentin, and Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison.
John Lee Hooker Sr. had brought his 20-year-old son, John Lee Hooker Jr. to California, in part to "...get that boy out of Detroit". Hooker Jr. had recently been released from prison in Michigan after having been incarcerated for drug offenses. Hooker Jr. later recalled "It was just me leaving one yard and moving to another yard... The only difference was I was free and I was able to walk out of the yard."
Hooker Jr. performed the first two songs on the album, before introducing his father for the next five.
The closing track of the album, and the closing song of the concert, Bang Bang Bang Bang, was a reworking of Hooker's 1961 standard Boom Boom. Four minutes and 17 seconds into the song, it abruptly ends when the power goes out. Hooker Jr. has conflicting recollections as to whether or not it was due to the prison guards cutting the power to do head count.
