This is the 4th album released by Aynsley Dunbar, after his first 3 splendid albums with his blues oriented group called Retaliation.
This one is more jazz/rock oriented with some excellent players on board and the fabulous vocals by Paul Williams (of Juicy Lucy, Tempest a.m.o.).
Just 5 long tracks with their rendition of Zappa's classic "Willie The Pimp" going for over 15 minutes. Plenty of space for instrumental solos for everybody, including the boss and some mighty guitar playing by the great Roger Sutton (sadly little known).
All this might sound a bit rough with today's brilliant technique, but the feel is definitely there and it kicks right where it should!
