The record was followed by seven additional albums in the Fresh Aire series. The album contains twelve tracks, each sequentially aligned with a month of the year. Each of the next three Fresh Aire albums is based upon a season, which later led to Fresh Aire's theme being reimagined as Spring.[2]
Besides the eponymous seventh tune, several of the track names are played on musical terms denoting the form of that song. The title track "Fresh Aire" is an air, "Saras Band" is a sarabande, and "Pass the Keg (Lia)" is a passacaglia. Composer Chip Davis refers to his music as "18th century rock and roll."
