As often with King, several of the tracks are re-recordings of songs he had recorded before. "Any Other Way" had appeared with a different arrangement as the b-side of "Help the Poor" in 1964.[4] "Neighborhood Affair" originally dates back to 1953 and was the b-side of "Please Hurry Home".[5] He would re-record the song again in 2003 for the album Reflections. The title track "Guess Who" had appeared on his first ABC album, Mr. Blues, in 1963.[6] It went on to become a live staple, appearing on Now Appearing at Ole Miss, Live at the Apollo and Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2011, among others. "You Shouldn't Have Left" was first recorded in 1959 and released on (The Soul of) B.B. King in 1963.[7] A 1965 recording of "Five Long Years" was first released by Kent on the album The Jungle.[8]
