Review by Scott Yanow
Big Joe Turner's Pablo recordings of 1974-84 tended to be loose and sometimes a bit sloppy (with some overlong performances) but they were always full of spirit. On this particular CD, Turner's classic singing is matched with a mostly all-star crew including trumpeter Roy Eldridge, trombonist Al Grey, tenor saxophonist Lee Allen, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Earl Palmer (along with guitarist Thomas Gadson and Jimmy Robins on piano and organ). Turner performs Woody Guthrie's "So Long" and five of his recent originals; Eldridge and Grey's occasional competitive solos uplift the music.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Las grabaciones de Big Joe Turner en Pablo entre 1974 y 1984 tendían a ser flojas y a veces un poco descuidadas (con algunas actuaciones demasiado largas), pero siempre estaban llenas de espíritu. En este CD en particular, el canto clásico de Turner se combina con un equipo de estrellas que incluye al trompetista Roy Eldridge, el trombonista Al Grey, el saxofonista tenor Lee Allen, el bajista Ray Brown y el baterista Earl Palmer (junto con el guitarrista Thomas Gadson y Jimmy Robins en el piano y el órgano). Turner interpreta "So Long" de Woody Guthrie y cinco de sus originales recientes; los competitivos solos ocasionales de Eldridge y Grey elevan la música.
