Recorded in 1965 and 1966, these 15 tracks are divided between solo piano performances and pieces with a full band, with support from guitarist
Johnny Young and members of the
Muddy Waters Band. The variation in approach means that this isn't the most consistent
Spann album, and the material and performances don't rank among his best either, although they're reasonably solid. Includes some of the rare tracks on which
Spann played organ rather than piano. ~ Richie Unterberger
