As the image on the cover conveys, New Grass Revival was no ordinary bluegrass band. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1972 when the group was composed of Sam Bush, Courtney Johnson, Curtis Burch and Ebo Walker.

The musical selections also show a new direction for bluegrass music or rather the use of traditional instruments applied to music from other genres including Jerry Lee Lewis' rock and roll classic Great Balls of Fire.
