This CD follows Louisiana Red's triumphants 1998 return to America on the festival circuit and is his first new U.s. recording in many years. In this mix of solo acoustic blues guitar and classic Chicago electric band contexts, Red demonstrates that he learned his lessons well from the blues musicians who mentored him so long ago. Featuring Handy Award winner Willie Kent on bass, Dave Jefferson, formerly of the Albert King band, on drums, allen batts of the early Albert Collins' Ice Breakers band on electric piano, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith on harmonica and Brian bisesi on rhythm guitar.
