By no means a bad album, Walker's major-label debut just wasn't quite as terrific as what directly preceded it. The studio atmosphere seems a bit slicker than before, and the songs are in several cases considerably longer than they need to be (generally in the five- to seven-minute range). A reworking of Howlin' Wolf's "Shake for Me" is the only familiar entry.

Really a survivor! JLW,is one of that artists that needed much audience of the bluesfans. He's a Bay Area guy,but influenced by Chicago blues,his style mixing R&B,pop,soul... shows a passionate work.The track 5,is simply the best of this cd,'Bad Thing' of Sarah Brown... Really a good job of this fantastic bluesman!
