Back Here on Earth

It has been suggested that Lightfoot chose the title because the album marked a return to his folk roots after his experimentation with orchestration on his previous album Did She Mention My Name?. Apart from his eponymous debut album, it is Lightfoot's only studio album not to derive its title from a song on the album.

Back Here on Earth was Lightfoot's last studio recording on the United Artists label which he left after releasing the live album, Sunday Concert, in 1969.
