This album marked a change in direction, with the frenetic pace of the first album giving way to a slower tempo. Sir Lord Baltimore expanded to a quartet for this album, with Louis Dambra's brother, Joey Dambra, joining as a second guitarist. Sir Lord Baltimore contained a supposed live recording, "Where Are We Going", later confirmed by leader John Garner to have been recorded at Mercury Studios, with the audience dubbed in at the producer's request.

The chorus guitar riff to "Woman Tamer" was used by stoner rock band Monster Magnet on the title track of their 1995 album Dopes to Infinity.
