A true bluesman for all seasons. Bass playin' in Chicago's heyday. Stepped away for some time and now back as front man with new sound.

2. Funky-swampy R&B stroll
3. Blues shoutin' over easy funk walk
4. Uptempo chromatic harmonica instr
5. Slow, back-in-the-alley cryin' vocals
6. Spoken story into playin' the gas can
7. Funky - Howlin' Wolf-ish boogaloo
8. Sparse playin' under spoken vocals - cool slow blues
9. Softer side of the blues - ballad
10. Soulified churchy multi-voiced gospel stroll
11. Acoustic guitar & harp with gardening vocals
12. Midtempo boogaloo w/blues rappin'
13. Strong walkin' BB style boogaloo
14. Stinging BB slow blues - live
