Personnel: Henry Gray (vocals, piano); Steve Freund (guitar); Willie Smith (drums).
Liner Note Author: Bill Dahl.
Recording information: Acme Studios, Chicago, IL.
Photographer: James Fraher.
Renowned as a piano-rippling sideman on the 1950s Chicago scene, Henry Gray returned to his native Louisiana in 1968 before anyone recorded him too prolifically as a leader. This album at least partially makes up for the oversight; backed by a solid Chicago combo, Gray alternates his own stuff with classics by Big Maceo, Little Walter, and Jimmy Reed, his ruminative voice and rumbling ivories prowess nicely spotlighted. ~ Bill Dahl
