4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Outting For Wells, August 5, 2001

Blues purists may feel like pulling their hair out upon hearing such a James Brown style funk album from Junior Wells, but those with an open mind may find Wells' fusion of funk and blues to be worth a listen. Sure its completely different from what we expect from the man, but the fact is that Junior Wells executes it so well you have to forgive him for his boldness is producing this type of project. No one before him has ever done such a fine job of combining the best of blues and funk into a single form, but here it flows well, aided by Wells outstanding harmonica lines. Though it can be a little to slick for its own good in places, it generally retains a consistant quality throughout. This is definatly not one for the purists and probably a bad idea if you're looking for a blues album. If, however, you are looking for funk-blues at its best, this is a fine disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars DIFFERENT BUT GOOD, March 7, 2004

I finally found a copy of of this CD (very hard to find). I was surprised at first. Some funk & blues with a touch of soul, a way different mix. By the time I got done listening to it I was very happy with it. This was well worth hunting down if you're a Junior Wells fan. His vocals and harp playing are classic Junior, this is great early stuff.

Today I found this in a used cd bin for $5! This is why insane searchers like myself spend hours scanning music stores to find out of print gems. Junior stepped out of the strictly blues medium here and it is a success!
