"[Slim's cousin Little Freddie King] is his main partner once again on this album, recorded in one four-hour session with drummer Ardie Dean - Jimbo Mathus added piano and organ and Matt Patton bass at a later date. Slim plays hypnotic boogie like John Lee Hooker, his style raw and steady while his singing is a soul drenched moan. Both are encapsuled perfectly on possibly the most laid-back cover of "Rock Me Baby" ever and originals including "Forty Jive", a smarting state-of-the-nation affair".
