Stunning solo Texas blues and barrelhouse piano by the late pianist. The most amazing material, produced by
Mack McCormick in Austin, dates from 1963 -- the rhythmically and technically complex "The Cows" is a tour de force, and "The Ma Grinder" and "The Clinton" aren't far behind. Later numbers from 1973 and 1977 prove that Shaw's skills didn't degenerate with time. ~ Bill Dahl
