  • Davenport cooks up his perfect “deep blues” sound on this album of all original compositions.  The full, clear tone of his harp playing takes the listener’s heart.  “I didn’t want to go into rock or nothin’ like that,” Lester once explained.  “I wanted the real, you know, old-time blues.”  He is backed by Sunnyland Slim on piano, John Primer on lead guitar, Willie Davis on rhythm guitar, Robert Stroger on bass, and Robert Covington on drums.

    “… Tracks like the hopping ‘It Won’t Work Like That,’ and the rousing ‘I’m Gonna Give It Up’ find Davenport … singing convincingly in a gruff time-seasoned tone, and blowing up a storm on harp.”  — Chicago Blues Magazine
