Overseen by noted jazz producer Bob Thiele, this session had Hooker backed by some of his fullest arrangements to date, with noted session drummer Pretty Purdie and keyboards in addition to supplementary guitar and bass.
The slightly modernized sound was ultimately neither here nor there, the center remaining Hooker's voice and lyrics.
His words nodded toward contemporary concerns with "I Don't Wanna Go to Vietnam" and "Mini Skirts," but the songs were mostly consistent with his usual approaches.
Another of his many characteristically solid efforts, although it's not one of his more interesting albums.
