Originally released on LP format in 1971 with a cloth burlap cover, Gooduns is the second album by Richard "King Biscuit Boy" Newell. After the success Official Music the year before, Gooduns was more of the same style with a few left over songs from the previous albums' sessions with Crowbar (although by this time they had officially parted company) and backing from some new musicians that included members of Janis Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie Band, Seatrain and Canada's Dr. Music.

For this album, Newell recorded on a couple of cover songs written by Dr. John, Little Walter and Willie Dixon but the album contained mainly original compositions by Newell. With a harder blues guitar sound and tighter band edge than the debut, "Gooduns" was supported by a successful tour of England in 1971 where King Biscuit Boy and The Real Gooduns Band were backed up by the British band The Idle Race.

Despite the success of the album and tour, the Daffodil Records label fell on hard times financially and folded with no single or album promotion, leaving King Biscuit Boy to move to the Epic label for the next release. This budget priced reissue by Unidisc does not contain any bonus tracks but faithfully reproduces the original album graphics and liner notes. /Keith Pettipas, AllMusic

@Rockinxxl.. I will update this post with new links as soon as I can find the time. Very busy at the moment and there are also other re-up requests waiting. As far as the other King Biscuit Boy albums you mention goes, please make a request in the comments box for each individual post since that will help me a lot and save me valuable time. Thanks in advance.

When it comes to the "Best Of", I guess you mean "Badly Bent: The Best of King Biscuit Boy" and it was posted here by Bluestender on August 4, 2015, and unless he has the time to update the post I can help you with new links (providing you make a request in the comments box for that post). Regarding "Hoodoo In My Soul", I did send new links for that post just the other day. You can find those links below (full art included in the folder).
