The album, produced by Peter Asher, was recorded at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, California, between December 8 and 17, 1969, at a cost of only $7,600 (US$63,145 in 2023 dollars) out of a budget of $20,000. Taylor was "essentially homeless" at the time the album was recorded, either staying in Asher's home or sleeping on a couch at the house of guitarist Danny Kortchmar or anyone else who would have him.: 66 
The song "Suite for 20 G" was so named because Taylor was promised $20,000 (US$166,171 in 2023 dollars) once the album was delivered. With one more song needed, he strung together three unfinished songs into a "suite", and completed the album.
The album produced two charting singles: "Fire and Rain", backed by "Anywhere Like Heaven", which peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 on October 31, 1970, and "Country Road", backed by "Sunny Skies", which peaked at number 37 on March 20, 1971. An additional single, "Sweet Baby James", backed by "Suite for 20 G", did not chart.
