Review

Sometimes a bit subdued compared to his bone-chilling output for Specialty, these 1956-1958 sides for Atco still possess considerable charm, especially the tough "It Hurts to Love Someone" and "If I Should Lose You," which conjure up the same hellfire-and-brimstone intensity as Guitar Slim's earlier work. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
