"Live in the studio" describes the raw & vital spirit of the proceedings as Northern California blues virtuoso J.J. Malone delivers this, his 9th album to date, and his first on Blues Express. Eschewing over-done covers, all compositions except 3 are original gems, giving him the opportunity to display his many abilities on piano, guitar, Hammond B-3, harmonica & vocals. Features special guest appearance by fellow Blues Express artist Frankie Lee, who joins him for a great vocal duet on a Sam Cooke song.
