The album is considered groundbreaking in being the first of its kind to combine the hard, stripped-down sound of punk rock with American roots music.  In turn, this innovation helped to create the punk blues and psychobilly styles as well as inspiring countless garage rockmusicians. Several musicians have cited Fire of Love as an influence, most notably Jack White of The White Stripes, who has said of this album: "… why are these songs not taught in schools?"
