  The album reached number one in the US Billboard Top Blues Albums Charts and number 26 in the UK charts.

  “The Ballad Of John Henry” has been remastered and pressed on two 180g brown LPs. The reissue includes the bonus track “Chains And Things”, originally by B. B. King.

  
  

  Reviews

  “With its catchy uptempo and soulful slowsongs, strong original songs and skillful covers, such as Sam Brown’s famous “Stop” or Tony Joe White’s “As The Crow Flies”, it’s a fan favorite.” (Good Times, August/September 2022)
