"After last year's combination of spoken narrative and new songs on Me & the Originator, I decided to relax and go back to recording just new songs of mine, as I have on my other 15 CDs. I had new songs which were inspired by the grooves of Little Junior Parker, Jimmy McCracklin, Slim Harpo, Booker T and the MGs, and many others. I divided the songs between blues and other roots forms, and as always I wrote about real life issues, both at home and in public. If you listen carefully, you'll hear what I mean!"
