If you're a fan of throwback albums that honor the blues greats, then you'll enjoy this compilation of great songs from the great blues masters. Peter Green Splinter Group has been fixated on Robert Johnson for a few albums but here, we get to hear them branch out to some others. An Elmore James riff kicks off the album with "I Believe My Time Ain't Long" (which although it has been well covered by Jeremy Spencer who couldn't grow out of his love affair with EJ, it's done quite well without Mr. Spencer thank you very much). My personal favorite on the album? The B B King like extended piece "Help Me Through The Day". We don't escape the RJ influence altogether though - check out the beginning to "Take Out Somme Insurance". If you've listened to Green's album "Hotfoot powder", this will sound familiar.

Peter  takes all of the lead vocals on all songs here except two ("Little Red Rooster" & "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out").
