Most of the tracks on the album were geared toward the TJB's Mariachi sound. There were also a few cover versions of popular songs, a trend which would grow in their next two albums, Volume 2 and South of the Border. Limbo Rock covered a novelty dance song that had been a calypso-style hit by Chubby Checker. Struttin' With Maria was later used as the theme for a TV game show called Personality, hosted by Larry Blyden. The tune Acapulco 1922 uses the old song Oh, You Beautiful Doll (by Seymour Brown and Nat D. Ayer, 1911) as a starting point, with a mariachi spin.
