Review by Steve Leggett
Before Jimmy Smith and the seemingly thousands of Hammond B-3 organ players who sprang up in his wake there was Wild Bill Davis, who gently grafted a little touch of blues to swing and gave credence to the idea of the organ trio. This session, recorded in Paris on January 21 and 22, 1976, features Davis with a souped-up ensemble of Billy Butler on guitar, Oliver Jackson on drums, and on four tracks, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis on tenor sax. It's a pleasant, flowing set highlighted by the title tune, "All Right, OK, You Win," and a sturdy version of "Blues for Joe."

Reseña de Steve Leggett
Antes de Jimmy Smith y los aparentemente miles de organistas de Hammond B-3 que surgieron a su paso, estaba Wild Bill Davis, quien suavemente injertó un pequeño toque de blues al swing y dio crédito a la idea del trío de órganos. Esta sesión, grabada en París los días 21 y 22 de enero de 1976, presenta a Davis con un ensamble de Billy Butler en la guitarra, Oliver Jackson en la batería, y en cuatro pistas, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis en el saxo tenor. Es un conjunto agradable y fluido, resaltado por el tema del título, "All Right, OK, You Win", y una robusta versión de "Blues for Joe".
