Review

Lifted from a 1970s live set, this Willie Dixon album features the singer and bassist working with guitarists Johnny Winter and Lee Jackson, pianist Lafayette Leake, harp man Shakey Horton, and drummer Clifton James. Unfortunately, the sound isn't great, and while it's obvious the band was having a hot night, it all comes out like a big, muddled Chicago blues stew. Too bad, since there is some nice playing here. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
