Recorded June 1, 1967 in New York City
A master of the blues who was equally comfortable singing pop, r&b, or jazz, Jimmy Witherspoon sang about the heartaches, headaches, and dreams of the modern world with a mix of musical sophistication and unpretentious, country-style emotionalism. On this underappreciated 1967 recording, Witherspoon is accompanied by the equally soulful organist Brother Jack McDuff.
