Hailed by sound engineer Bruce Botnick as "the all-time American bar band song,"[7] "Roadhouse Blues"–despite its relatively unsuccessful chart peak–received strong airplay on rock radio stations.[8] The song's title was considered for the name of the album, but it was eventually changed.[7] It was ranked the 153rd top classic-rock song by Q104,3,[9] and the eleventh best rock song of all time by Time Out.[10]
