Review by Ron Wynn
Roosevelt Sykes expertly fit his classic, down-home piano riffs and style into a fabric that also contained elements of soul, funk, and R&B. The nine-cut date, recently reissued by Original Blues Classics, included such laments as "I Hate to Be Alone," "Lonely Day," and "She Ain't for Nobody," as well as the poignant "Yes Lawd," and less weighty "Satellite Baby" and "Jailbait." Besides Sykes' alternately bemused, ironic, and inviting vocals, there's superb tenor sax support from King Curtis, Robert Banks' tasty organ, and steady, nimble bass and drum assistance by Leonard Gaskin and drummer Belton Evans.
Roosevelt Sykes (January 31, 1906 – July 17, 1983) was an American blues musician, also known as "The Honeydripper". He was a successful and prolific cigar-chomping blues piano player, whose rollicking thundering boogie-woogie was highly influential.

Roosevelt Sykes adaptó de forma experta sus clásicos riffs y estilo de piano en un tejido que también contenía elementos de soul, funk y R&B. La fecha de nueve cortes, recientemente reeditada por Original Blues Classics, incluyó lamentos como "Odio estar solo", "Lonely Day" y "Ella no está para nadie", así como la conmovedora "Sí Lawd". y menos pesado "Satellite Baby" y "Jailbait". Además de las voces alternativamente desconcertantes, irónicas e invitadoras de Sykes, hay un excelente soporte de saxo tenor de King Curtis, el sabroso órgano de Robert Banks, y la asistencia constante y ágil de los bajos y el tambor de Leonard Gaskin y el batería Belton Evans.
