Produced: 1997
Produced by: David Clayton-Thomas
This is his first-ever all blues album. Recorded live off the floor
at Ornette Coleman's studio in Harlem, in four nights.
The current BS&T lineup plays on the album.
There is a story behind one of the songs. David met the blues guitarist
Albert King in Finland at a blues festival.
He asked Albert if he still enjoyed touring after 52 years...Albert
said "David, if the world would come to Memphis,
I wouldn't have to tour". He wrote the song soon after.
