The title track was later covered by the Toronto surf-country band The Sadies under the title of "The Story's Often Told". The Sadies' album on which the track appears was produced by Blue Rodeo's singer/guitarist, Greg Keelor.

The singer/guitarist, Jim Cuddy, said in concert that "Bulletproof", the album's first single, was his attempt to emulate the songwriting of his admired singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith. He originally wrote the song to give to Blue Rodeo's bass guitarist, Bazil Donovan, for use in a solo project, but chose in the end to keep the song for Blue Rodeo.

"Glad to Be Alive" was later re-recorded for Blue Rodeo's 2014 Christmas album, A Merrie Christmas to You.

"Clearer View" was later re-recorded for Jim Cuddy's 2019 solo album, Countrywide Soul.
