5.0 out of 5 stars More of his albums need to be back in print!, June 4, 2001

Autry De Walt Jr. (that's Jr. Walker to you) was an underrated genius. He made his sax sing and talk and the All-Stars coukld take on James Brown's JB's any day! There is not a bad song in the bunch (Shotgun, Road Runner, What Does It Take, etc.) They all rocjk, but more of Jr. Walker's great albums (Jr. Walker Live, Road Runner, The Shotgun CD, Peace and Understanding is Hard To Find, etc) needs to be back in print so the public can appreciate some really great music!

4.0 out of 5 stars Underrated and often imitated, October 7, 2011

This is not a bad collection of Mr. Walker's. These cuts let you know just why he could open a show for any Motwon artist as well as close the show for them as well. Featured cuts include: Shotgun, Cleos Back and many others. This is just another reason why I keep apllying for jobs at recod companies but, I am beginning to thinkl they don't want the good stuff out in the market. Junior is best when you hear him live or through analog. Oh yeah, he's funky. His sax riffs can be heard on so many artist under the Motown banner it is simply ridiculous that he did not get more acclaim during his time at Motown. This is a great place to start for the novice, and for those of you that just want to go back down memory lane. This collections flows almost as good as the compilations I make, almost, anyway get this CD for some serious soulful up tempo tenor sax grooving. YOu can't miss with this one. Many a party stayed funky with Junior blowing his sax, you can believe that.

The item came on time,and the container was rough, what you can't expect brand new for $5. The CD is very good, especially the track 'What Does It Take'. Glad I bought it. No problems here.
