Mose Allison tries to update his sound a little by doubling on electric piano and using electric bassist
Chuck Rainey and drummer
Billy Cobham, but his fans had little to fear on this out of print LP.
Allison's wry wit is in fine form, and his ironic yet truthful lyrics are always fun to hear. None of his nine originals from the studio session caught on ("Ask Me Nice" is perhaps best-known), but his cover versions of "If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time" and
Duke Ellington's "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me" make the songs seem as if they were written for him. ~ Scott Yanow
