Sam Charters produced this marvelously funky collection of oldies rendered Eaglin-style with an all-star Crescent City combo: pianist Ellis Marsalis, saxist Clarence Ford, and the French brothers as rhythm section. Eaglin's revisit of "Yours Truly" floats over a rhythmic bed so supremely second-line funky that it's astonishing, while he personalizes the New Orleans classics "Oh Red," "Down Yonder," and "Let the Four Winds Blow" as only Snooks Eaglin can. /Bill Dahl, AllMusic

Personnel: Snooks Eaglin (vocals, guitar); Clarence Ford (saxophone); Ellis Marsalis (piano); George French (bass, background vocals); Bob French (drums).

(Note: Originally released on LP in 1978 entitled "Down Yonder".)
