This is an excellent album, packed with real quality musicianship, vocals, material and soulful feeling. Benny Turner is not just another bluesman but the brother of the late, legendary Freddie King. With this guy, we have a true bluesman, brought up in the tradition from a family that was positively steeped in the blues. The fourth release from Texan, Turner, the ten tracks here include sure-fired soulful vocals and quality bass from Turner with some subtle support from Muddy’s old guitar support sideman player Bob Margolin. Dr John even puts in a rare appearance on rhythm guitar on one track.

Margolin displays his sheer quality and experience with a wonderful slide-based take on Bill Withers’ hit standard Ain’t No Sunshine, turning it on its head in places. For the past fifty or so years, Turner has been happy to skip the spotlights, working as bandleader for the former widely acclaimed Blues Queen of New Orleans, Marva Wright, (one track, Pity On This Lovesick Fool, features a duet recorded before she passed), and shoring up countless big-name players including a decade or so on bass, performing and touring with his late, elder brother Freddie King. /Iain Patience, Blues Magazine
