Review by Thom Jurek
This 1964 date pairs organist Richard "Groove" Holmes with an uncredited studio big band for a set of funky steamers. Onzy Matthews arranged and conducted the band that overdoes it in extremis, making it all sound overly dramatic and cheesy. Holmes, however, was in fine form here and his performance is flawless. Readings of "See See Rider," "Your Old Wagon," and "Roll 'Em Pete," would have been stellar if the accompaniment had been fitting. This disc is for Holmes completists only.

Reseña de Thom Jurek
Esta cita de 1964 combina al organista Richard "Groove" Holmes con una big band de estudio no acreditada para un conjunto de funky steamers. Onzy Matthews arregló y dirigió la banda que se excede en extremismo, haciendo que todo suene demasiado dramático y cursi. Holmes, sin embargo, estaba en buena forma aquí y su actuación es impecable. Las lecturas de "See Rider", "Your Old Wagon" y "Roll 'Em Pete" habrían sido estelares si el acompañamiento hubiera sido adecuado. Este disco es sólo para incondicionales de Holmes.
