With his take-no-prisoners slide guitar style derived from Elmore James and a primal, driving approach to the blues, J.B. Hutto was a fixture in the Chicago clubs in the 1950s and 1960s, where he was often paired with the similar-sounding Hound Dog Taylor. This set, which was recorded at Mother Blues on Wells Street in Chicago's Old Town section on December 17, 1966 (the final seven tracks come from a second session held on December 19 and 20, 1972, at Sound Studios), is typical of Hutto's barn-burning style, with ragged, explosive slide runs curling around his raw, nearly incomprehensible vocals (not that the Hawk's meaning was ever unclear), and the end effect is bit like having a bulldozer blast through your head. Among the highlights here are the opener, "Evening Train," "Hawk's Rock" (an instrumental that is about as subtle as Hutto ever got), the monster "Hip Shakin'" (the version here was used on his album Hawk Squat), "Precious Stone," and "Young Hawk's Crawl," although the whole disc is of a piece, a full-throttle charge through some vintage Chicago guitar blues, and since Hutto never strayed from his ragged and gut-bucket approach to things, this set makes as fine an introduction to his slide fireworks as any.

Con su estilo de guitarra deslizante sin prisioneros, derivado de Elmore James, y un enfoque primitivo del blues, J.B. Hutto fue un fijo en los clubes de Chicago en las décadas de 1950 y 1960, donde a menudo se le emparejaba con el sonido similar de Hound Dog Taylor. Este set, que fue grabado en Mother Blues on Wells Street en la sección Old Town de Chicago el 17 de diciembre de 1966 (los últimos siete temas provienen de una segunda sesión celebrada el 19 y 20 de diciembre de 1972 en Sound Studios), es típico del estilo de Hutto de quemar graneros, con toboganes irregulares y explosivos que se enroscan alrededor de sus voces crudas y casi incomprensibles (no es que el significado del Hawk no haya sido nunca confuso), y el efecto final es un poco como si se tratara de tener una explosión de un bulldozer a través de su cabeza. Entre los más destacados se encuentran el estreno, "Evening Train", "Hawk's Rock" (un instrumento que es más sutil que nunca), el monstruo "Hip Shakin'" (la versión que aquí se usó en su álbum Hawk Squat), "Precious Stone" y "Young Hawk's Crawl" (El gateo del joven halcón),"aunque todo el disco es de una pieza, una carga a toda velocidad a través de algunos blues de guitarra vintage de Chicago, y como Hutto nunca se apartó de su andrajoso enfoque de las cosas, este conjunto hace que sea una buena introducción a sus fuegos artificiales como cualquier otro.
