The record
Organ, harmonica and vocals all from Billy Hawks, which gives this one a pull the standard organ trio can't manage. The book runs to blues warhorses like 'Got My Mojo Working' and 'I Just Want To Make Love To You', with Ivan 'Boogaloo' Joe Jones on guitar and Henry Terrell on drums. Rudy Van Gelder engineered. Prestige PR 7501, 1966.
