Reviews
All-Music Guide (Bill Dahl) - Lackluster set comprised of only seven lengthy workouts, including Guy's renditions of "I'm Ready," "Watermelon Man," and Sugar Pie DeSanto's "Hello San Francisco." Jazzman Junior Mance is pianist for the somewhat underwhelming album.
Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD (Frank John Hadley) - This 1972 release has not aged well-not that it was anything superior to begin with. Guy's flashy guitar clashes with a plodding rhythm team and dragging saxophones, and of seven songs/ on the bill only "Come See About Me" (recorded at a different session from the rest) is worth hearing.
