AMG refers to this recording as a MUST FIND and assigns it
four and a half stars. The WebMistress considers this one of her
all-time favorite collections, and it's no wonder: Look at the
personnel. We have here the first and best incarnation of the
Nighthawks accompanied by the Muddy Waters band and additional
outstanding talent. Blues authority Gerard Herzhaft, in his Encyclopedia
of the Blues, considers Pinetop Perkins "at his best"
on this collection. This album is also recommended highly for
shag dancers and other party-types.
