These recordings are a nice combinations of blues and jazz. Charles Brown's vocals on this CD are very bluesy and mellow. It seems every single note he plays on the piano has a reason. Also the band on this CD seems to have complete control of each song. Everything seems to flow smoothly as they play from track to track. This CD has some of his finest works . Songs like I Stepped In Quicksand, I Cried Last Night, and Who Will Your Next Fool are some of his finest works. This CD confirms why he was recently inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame.If you are a listener or musician this CD should definitely be in your collection.

I've heard Charles Brown's "I Stepped in Quicksand" on some compilation of blues, and I liked it so much that I had to look and see who the artist was. Now, I bought my first Charles Brown CD, and I am impressed! He plays awesome jazzy piano, he sings at the perfect nexus of jazz and blues, and the backing band is excellent. The sophistication of Charles Brown and his band is clear on this record. He's a class act. I can listen to this record again and again and enjoy every song again and again without it becoming repetitive. Each song has a refreshingly different melody and tone. The sound quality is excellent. Highly recommended!

I was saddened to read of Charles Brown's passing two weeks ago.

I grew up hearing Please Come Home For Christmas on the radio every December.

I saw CB at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in '91. I didn't really expect much, but he was the best act of the weekend!

So I bought this record, again not expecting much. It's good!
