When this album was recorded in 1960, this laconic Mississippian wasn't the brilliant lyricist he would later become. But he had great taste. The title track, written by
Willie Dixon, sure sounds like a
Mose song; "Fool's Paradise" is another gem. Mose's four tunes are instrumentals. The production by
Teo Macero makes it feel like you're perched on one end of the piano bench. This album was released with two others in a delightful 1994 collection called High Jinks.
