Lively and danceable R&B, in the vein of
James Brown.
Jones' and his musicians, especially the horn section, would be ideal as a house band for a late-night talk show host. Exceptions are "Long, Long Way to Go," a solo acoustic giving a back porch feeling, and a slow sobber, "I Broke My Baby's Heart." The ending tune,
Sleepy John Estes' "Drop Down Mama," is a treat with
Jones on guitar accompanied by drummer Reinhardt Melz. ~ Char Ham
