Reviewer: John Fitzgerald, Human resources staff database assistant May 29, 2001 There is alot of the boogie woogie piano style you would predict there to be on this record
but it's rather louder production techniques seem to drowned this fact a little which works
to it's slight advantage because it makes it less predictable though this may not have been
the intention. The problem is that there are few slow numbers and the ones included ("Sad
blues" & "My big mistake") don't fair as well as the faster songs. Many of the faster tunes
fall into the "Bad bad Leroy Brown" style shuffle most notably on "Why I sing the blues"
and Dixon's vocals may have been more proper on a soul recording where at his more
swaggering can sound like Joe Cocker. However, the opening title track is a good Jackie
Wilson type stomp which starts you off on the right foot. Good in that it's not predictable
but not many ideas included.
