Review
by Bill Dahl
The guitarist's first album away from Chess -- and to be truthful, it sounds as though it could have been cut at 2120 S. Michigan, with Guy's deliciously understated guitar work and a tight combo anchored by three saxes and pianist Otis Spann laying down tough grooves on the vicious "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "I Can't Quit the Blues," and an exultant cover of Mercy Dee's "One Room Country Shack."

El primer álbum del guitarrista lejos de Chess -- y para ser sinceros, suena como si pudiera haber sido grabado en 2120 S. Michigan, con el deliciosamente discreto trabajo de guitarra de Guy y un apretado combo anclado por tres saxos y el pianista Otis Spann marcando duros ritmos en las despiadadas "Mary Had a Little Lamb", "I Can't Quit the Blues" y una exultante versión de "One Room Country Shack" de Mercy Dee.
