Stax Records Stereo 1972
Near-definitive blues with soul, first heard in 1972. King's piercing notes and vitriol-soaked phrases respond tellingly to his warm, reassuring vocals-his title declaration of intent and "Breakin' Up Somebody's Home" are extremely compelling. The Bar-Kays truckle to his will with stirring groove, but one can't help pining for the rhythm magic of first-call Stax backups the M.G.s. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
