Warner Brothers Stereo 1970
From the first track you know you have something really special here.With a top backing band featuring Peter Green & John Paul Jones this album is something to saviour.Memphis Slim has one of the best voices I've heard in any genre.It would charm the birds out of the trees to rest on his shoulders.If you want the real deal and make your music fan friends green with envy, pull this out and lay it on 'em.
