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”.

Originally entitled HOME COOKING, this 1966 album from blues wizard T-Bone Walker, where he’s accompanied by only three other musicians (with no drummer), proves the blues can be mellow without losing the sting or the zing.
