Somehow the grandfather of British blues still had the fire in his belly to record a strong album almost 40 years after he began his storied career.
Buddy Whittington acquits himself well as the latest in a long line of hotshot guitarists for this multi-instrumentalist, who still does his best work on harmonica.
He still admires long-dead bluesman J.B.
Lenoir, including "Voodoo Music" here.
A lot of credit for this strong outing goes to R.S.
Field, lyricist and sometime producer for Webb Wilder.
"Long Story Short" would pass for a Wilder tune were it not for Mayall's distinctive voice.
