Previously titled The Pinch when it was issued on LP in 1977, this material was actually recorded in 1973 and 1974.
These are some of King's most soul-oriented sessions, with contributions from the Memphis Horns and a couple of the MG's.
Blues-oriented fans may find this one of his lesser efforts, putting less emphasis on King's guitar work than usual, and more on the vocals and arrangements.
This approach has its merits, though, as it's one of the more relaxed items in the King catalog, with none of the occasional excess that creeped into his blues guitar solos.
