The record

Eight sides gathered for Prestige in 1969, and the range is wider than the duo billing suggests: "Backwater Blues" and "East Coast Blues" on the slow end, "Jump Little Children" and "Don't You Lie To Me" pushing hard, plus a turn through "I Got A Woman." Issued as PR 7715, a compilation, with David Hancock cutting the lacquer.
