The record
Roberts leads a tight organ-guitar combo through greasy, soul-jazz grooves, with Earl Palmer's backbeat and Paul Bryant's organ keeping things firmly in pocket. A West Coast session player flexing his blues chops outside the studio-guitarist grind, proof he could swing as hard as he could sight-read.
