A great album from the legendary T-Bone Walker – a set issued right on the cusp of the 70s, at a time when Walker was starting to bring a nice current of funk into his music! The record resonates with the same strengths as some of his best from this period – a great groove that’s younger than the man himself, but which really shows that his legendary vocals and guitar work are right at home in the funky generation – so much so that even the familiar title track gets a wonderfully wicked reworking with a hell of a groove! The album’s one of those many obscure projects from producer Huey P Meaux from around the time, with arrangements credited to Jimmy Hones – on titles that include “Glamour Girl”, “T-Bone’s Way”, “Got To Cross The Deep Blue Sea”, “Louisiana Bayou Drive”, and “When We Were Schoolmates”.
“The high level of creativity in play here isn’t obvious on a cursory listen, since a lot of the tracks favor the same sort of midtempo blues shuffle, but a closer listen reveals a stunning guitarist who plays the blues with a jazzman’s soul, and while Walker isn’t a flashy singer, he gets the job done with enough conviction that you can feel the country dust settling in behind his urbane delivery, and when he cuts loose a little on guitar, the sparks fly with elegant tension. The highlight here, of course, is Walker’s umpteenth version of “Stormy Monday Blues,” a track he originally recorded way back in 1947, giving the world a bona fide blues classic, and if he revisits it again here, that’s fine”.” (Steve Leggett, AMG)
