Following the legendary bluesman's popular collaboration with
Canned Heat, this album continues his work with mostly younger musicians and predates similar projects
The Healer and
Mr. Lucky by about 20 years.
Van Morrison spans the gap by appearing on this 1972 release and
Mr. Lucky.
Elvin Bishop,
Charlie Musselwhite, and even Steve Miller contribute here. Jazz violinist
Michael White helps "Boogie With the Hook" take off and adds a mournful touch to the harrowing "T.B. Sheets," which is much more restrained here than on the earlier debut release by Morrison.
