Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1995, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Personnel: Big Joe Turner (vocals); Herman Bennett, Pee Wee Crayton (guitar); Bob Smith (alto saxophone); J.D. Nicholson (piano); Charles Randall (drums). Liner Note Author: Benny Green . Recording information: Los Angeles, CA (03/10/1976). Many of Big Joe Turner's Pablo recordings matched him with big names, but this workout finds him jubilant and in top form singing with some lesser-known musicians (altoist Bob Smith, Herman Bennett on second guitar, pianist J.D. Nicholson, bassist Winston McGregor, drummer Charles Randall, and the only "name" of the date, guitarist Pee Wee Crayton). The solos of Smith (who sounds like a mixture of Tab Smith and Johnny Hodges) and Crayton are consistently excellent, and Big Joe turns everything into blues, including such unlikely material as "Sweet Lorraine" and "Pennies from Heaven." This CD reissue gives listeners a good example of what it was like to catch the great blues singer during a club date with a pickup band. ~ Scott Yanow
