Personnel: Carey Bell (vocals, harmonica); Steve Jacobs (guitar); Lips Lackowitz (harmonica); Kevin McKendree (organ); Brian McGregor (acoustic & electric bass); Buddy Grandell (drums).Producers: Steve Jacobs, Jerry Del Giudice, Mark Hurwitz.Recorded at Wizard Works, Beltsville, Maryland. Includes liner notes by Geoffrey Himes.The harpist hooked up with a young Maryland-based band called Tough Luck for this disc, certainly one of his better outings. The traditional mindset of the combo pushed Bell back to his roots, whether on the originals "Just like You" and the Horton homage "Big Walter Strut" or revivals of Muddy Waters' "Short Dress Woman" and "Walking Thru the Park" and the classic Little Walter title cut. ~ Bill Dahl
