Finally Billy Boy Arnold comes back, after a long period of silence, where fans of this excellent Chicago harp-player and singer have missed him a lot Splendid record with reputed Mark Hummel production and final work, together with Electro-Fi owner Andrew Galloway on executive production Fourteen songs where Arnold does a powerful harp blowing and sings with his habitual weary voice, combining both Sonny Boy Williamson I and II with his own personal sound although,, this time, he has balanced the amp with more overdrive than in other previous recordings Genuine Chicago blues by one of the outstanding representatives of that ‘old’ sound backed by great blues masters such as Rusty Zinn on guitar, Tom Mahon on piano, Ronnie James Webber on bass and Mark Bohn on drums One of these priceless albums for harp and fifties Chicago blues lovers, recorded with the most actual production means
