    5 out of 5 stars Johnny's Best.......2001-07-27

    I've owned this recording on LP and CD as well as several others of Johnny's. This is his very best recording. One reason why this CD is exceptional is the brilliant driving drumming of New Orleans' own John Vidacovich. It's not to be missed.

    4 out of 5 stars Johnny Adams, former greatest living soul singer.......1998-06-24

    Johnny Adams was until his recent passing the world's greatest living soul singer, and this album is proof. Combining his soulful, hearfelt vocals with the peerless R&B tunes of the inimitable Percy Mayfield, Adams creates a flat-out masterpiece.If you love the blues, soul, R&B or even jazz, you owe it to yourself to hear this.
