A Liturgy, A Legacy and a Ragamuffin Band is an example of a concept album, as stated in the liner notes by Mullins and album producer Reed Arvin: "Cuts 2–6 of this album loosely follow the pattern of a liturgy - a tool used for collective worship.

"Cuts 7–12 is a consideration of our "secular" heritage (the legacy), issues and ideas that play themselves out in the history of our country." The first track "Here in America" serves as an introduction to the album. Mullins also covers folk rock singer -songwriter Mark Heard's track "How to Grow Up Big and Strong" as a tribute to Heard who passed away in 1992.
