Review by Ron Wynn
Charlie Musselwhite takes four different approaches on this Alligator release. On two tracks, he turns to guitar, proving a competent instrumentalist and convincing singer in a vintage Delta style. He also does two gospel numbers backed by the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama, which are heartfelt, but not exactly triumphs. Musselwhite reveals his jazz influence on three tracks, making them entertaining harmonica workouts. But for blues fans, Musselwhite's biting licks and spiraling riffs are best featured on such numbers as "If I Should Have Bad Luck" and "Leaving Blues." Despite the diverse strains, Musselwhite retains credibility throughout while displaying the wide range of sources from which he's forged his distinctive style.

Reseña de Ron Wynn
Charlie Musselwhite adopta cuatro enfoques diferentes en este lanzamiento de Alligator. En dos temas, se dedica a la guitarra, demostrando ser un instrumentista competente y un cantante convincente en un estilo del Delta vintage. También hace dos números de gospel respaldados por los legendarios Blind Boys of Alabama, que son sinceros, pero no son precisamente triunfos. Musselwhite revela su influencia del jazz en tres temas, convirtiéndolos en entretenidos ejercicios de armónica. Pero para los fans del blues, los mordaces licks y los riffs en espiral de Musselwhite son los más destacados en temas como "If I Should Have Bad Luck" y "Leaving Blues". A pesar de la diversidad de estilos, Musselwhite mantiene la credibilidad a lo largo de todo el disco mientras muestra la amplia gama de fuentes de las que ha forjado su estilo distintivo.
