The textbook charge usually levelled against Alligator sessions are that they're sanitized. You couldn't lodge that one against this set with a straight face; if anything, somebody turned

Johnny Winter was around on guitar and piano, playing gritty blues with a passion. It didn't help that
Terry didn't put any amplified muscle behind his harmonica, however. Otherwise, this is a strong session. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
