Notes:  Following Still Alive and Well this record is another successful outing with brother Edgar and friends as the supporting cast. A nice selection of material and as usual Johnny with his chainsaw voice and a stranglehold on the blues brings us along for the ride. Among the tunes is a recording of Van Morrison's Feedback on Highway 101. I don't think Van ever released a version of this on his own. The cover photos range from a jewlerey bedecked madman, a distorted glimpse of the back and Johnny caught in a bad fashion choice we must blame on the seventies. Great album by a great musician.
