Benny Turner brings us his third work, with mostly own compositions and some impressive dark versions he learned from his family when he was only a boy, he has included as a tribute to his family In fact, their parents and uncles often met in his home back porch to sing and play blues and this deeply influenced both Benny and his brother, the unique, incomparable and unrepeatable Freddie King In the mid-fifties the family moved from Gilmer, Texas to Chicago, where Benny began a successful career as bass player in the band of his brother Freddie From the death of King in 1976, Benny has developed an intense and exciting career in the blues world This album is full of virtues, with a magnificent repertoire and a bewildering performing, besides a huge musical quality plus stunning arrangements and production Now his music includes other rhythms like gospel, soul and rhythm and blues but, undoubtedly, Benny writes and plays blues because he has lived and carried blues in his shoulder from childhood This album really proves it, as it is the work of a living legend of west side Chicago blues history
