Al Johnson's first record for Joe Ruffino's Ric label...and a particular favorite of mine. Truth is, I've never thought much of Johnson's voice, but the band is kicking it so hard on this one that I can't help but be won over. In particular, the piano work is spectacular. If I had to guess, I'd say that's James Booker doing his best 'Huey Smith plays Professor Longhair' imitation [I just made that up, but it sounds about right].
Hope ya'll enjoy....
