A spectacular date by a great New Orleans pianist whose personal difficulties prevented him from both a long life and sustained career achievement.

King, Ringo Starr, and the Doobie Brothers. He seamlessly fused a blues base, jazz touches, and an R&B/gospel feeling, and this was among his best (and few) recordings. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
