Personnel: Eddie Boyd (piano, organ, vocals); Buddy Guy (guitar); Big Mama Thornton (vocals); Jimmy Lee Robinson (vocals, bass, guitar); Fred Below (drums). Reissue producer: Jerry Gordon. Recorded at Wessex Sound Studios, London, England on October 21, 1965; and in Hamburg, Germany on October 7, 1965. Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl. All songs written by Eddie Boyd except "Rosa Lee" (Jimmy Lee Robinson) and "Hound Dog" (Leiber/Stoller). One of the first and best of Boyd's many overseas recordings, cut while he was in the midst of that auspicious 1965 American Folk Blues Festival tour of Europe. While the caravan was ensconced in London, young producer Mike Vernon spirited Boyd and a rhythm section (guitarist Buddy Guy, bassist Jimmie Lee Robinson, and drummer Fred Below) off to the studio, where Boyd ran through some of his classics ("I'm Comin' Home," "24 Hours," the title track) and a few less familiar items while alternating between piano and organ. ~ Bill Dahl
