Personnel: 
Sunnyland Slim (vocals, piano); 
Eunice Davis (vocals); 
Eddie Taylor, Hubert Sumlin, Louisiana Red, Lurrie Bell (guitar); 
Carey Bell (harmonica); 
Odie Payne, Jr. (drums).

This is a later recording from the legendary pianist made for the German L & R label and now re-released on Evidence. The first nine songs are from a studio set feature Slim with a terrific band including Carey Bell on harmonica, Hubert Sumlin on guitar and Odie Payne on drums. These songs are the best on the CD as Slim and the band run through a set mixing slow blues with up-tempo songs, including several instrumentals. The last six songs are pulled from a series of live recordings that are decent but not spectacular. Overall, a fine showcase of this legend of blues and at the fairly good price it is worth the purchase. --- Sam Mosley
