Guitarist Mel Brown's 1967 Impulse! debut is possibly the funkiest and most unique album ever released on the label. Brown's clean blues picking style -honed while playing in John Lee Hooker's and T-Bone Walker's bands- marinates funkily with the swinging soul-jazz organ of Gerald Wiggins. The title track and the simmering lament of “I'm Goin' to Jackson” standout.
Details:
US reissue from 1972 (red/black labels). Vinyl looks unplayed, just has a (pressing?) default on side B producing some surface noise, at B
especially. Still a solid copy!!
