Four Chicago harmonica greats, one eminently solid album. Teamed with
Junior Wells
,
Billy Branch
, and
Carey Bell
Cotton
sings
Willie Love's
Delta classic
"Little Car Blues"
and
Charles Brown's
"Black Night."
Wells
trades harp solos and vocals, standing front and center on a fine rendition of
Sonny Boy II
's "Keep Your Hands Out of My Pockets" and the tailor-made "Somebody Changed the Lock" and "Broke and Hungry," obviously relishing the camaraderie between himself and his fellow harmonica giants. Meanwhile,
Branch
's showcases are the apt original "New Kid on the Block" and a deft cover of
Little Walter
's "Who." ~ Bill Dahl
