Cash would reprise a number of the tracks on this album in later venues such as TV performances, and live versions of "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog" and "Joe Bean" would be featured on his later live album At Folsom Prison. On the sixth episode of his ABC TV series The Johnny Cash Show, he performed a version of the title track with musical guest The Monkees. "Please Don't Play Red River Valley" would also later be performed by Cash on the series as a musical comedy routine with his wife, June Carter Cash. Cash also performed "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog" a decade later during an appearance on The Muppet Show.

"The Singing Star's Queen" features lyrics poking fun at Cash's friend and fellow performer Waylon Jennings. "Joe Bean" incorporates the lyrics and melody of "Happy Birthday to You".
