Background
Beowülf is led by Dale Henderson and he is joined on this album by Rich Rowan, Kevin Sullivan and Stefan Crapia. Rowan and Sullivan were a part of the Beowülf line-up for Un-Sentimental (1993). They rejoined Henderson in the band Kool-Whip after Beowülf broke up in 1995. After performing for several years as Kool-Whip and notwithstanding some success Henderson reverted to playing Beowülf songs.[6] This was followed by the a re-release of Beowülf's first two LP's, Beowülf (album) (1986) and Lost My Head... But I'm Back on the Right Track (1988), on a single cd by I Scream Records. The Re-Releases (2004) also contained a studio track recorded in 2004. 2007 saw the release of Westminster & 5th.
The track "Westminster & 5th" runs for 15:02 and contains a hidden track. The song ends after 4:38 and there is a silence of 7:03. The song "Wide Open Road" starts lasting for 3:22. The song "Wide Open Road" is not included on the track list but the song with its lyrics are included in the cd booklet.
