Classic example of a Chicago blues ensemble. Driven powerfully by both harmonica and guitar.
"Serving up 12 Davenport original tunes on the album, 'Mad Dog' and his mates have cooked up a spicy stew of vintage blues sounds. Tracks like the hopping 'It Won't Work Like That, I'm Gonna Move' 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 the harp." -Chicago Blues Magazine
"The 'Mad Dog' is such a powerful soloist in the Little Walter vein (the Big Walter vein, too, before that worthy turned so introspective) that you wish he'd just keep on goin ... The model here is pretty clearly the Muddy Waters ensemble ... That's OK with me - the Morganfield model is a durable one and Lester even sings a bit like the Master ... As for backup, we've got John Primer, guitarist in Muddy's band and a student of Sammy Lawhorn ... Add Sunnyland Slim, his accomplices Stroger and Covington, and the right amount of chugging and scratching from Willow Davis, and you've got a band that ought to tour ... Excellent recording. Got for it." - Cadence
