Personnel: Lonnie Johnson (vocals, guitar), Hal Singer (tenor saxophone), Claude Hopkins (piano), Wendall Marshall (bass), Bobby Donaldson (drums). Recorded at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on March 8, 1960. Originally released on Bluesville (1007). Includes original liner notes by David D. Bitten. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley). All songs written by Lonnie Johnson. After four years off records and in obscurity, Lonnie Johnson launched his final comeback with this release, which has been reissued on CD. Teamed with tenor saxophonist Hal Singer, pianist Claude Hopkins, bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Bobby Donaldson, Johnson sings and plays guitar on a variety of blues, showing that the layoff (he was working at the time as a janitor) had not hurt his abilities in the slightest. ~ Scott Yanow
