It was known during production as Bury An Angel (1970).[1]
The soundtrack was released on the Paramount Records label (PAS 6005) the same year as the picture was released and features a mix of pop and folk rock songs, including a rendition of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" sung by Bill Medley. All songs were arranged or written by Harley Hatcher.[2]
Reviews were mixed. Some praised the fact that there was more depth to the film than most other biker flicks,[3] while others have found the movie unoriginal and preachy.[4][5]
