Recorded in September 1966, shortly before his death the following spring, this session was
Lenoir's most effective fusion of acoustic blues, African percussion, and contemporary, topical songwriting."Round and Round," "Voodoo Music," and "Feelin' Good" bring the African influence to the fore, while
J.B. addresses tough issues like Vietnam and discrimination more directly than any other bluesman of the time on cuts like "Down In Mississippi," "Shot on Meredith," and "Vietnam Blues." Supervised by
Willie Dixon, this recording also featured top Chicago blues drummer
Fred Below.
