For those of us who lived too long on the original Oriole vinyl, seeing this repackage was a no-brainer. This is one of AK's best live sets from an era that he outgrew quickly. The whole feel of the early days of Blues Incorporated. If you're looking for AK up front with his gravelly vocals and rauchy guitar work, you have to go elsewhere. This is classic, early blues and rhythm and blues material with a frantic swing backbone. Plus if you waited 45 years to hear this recording, you reap the benefit of some bonus tracks that you can only (right now) get here.

Alexis was the Godfather of the British Blues, and this is one great place to start to discover why. --- Marcus Aurelius, amazon.com
