Slide guitarist J.B. Hutto was a true bluesman, a no-holds-barred performer with a wild, eccentric style that is instantly recognizable. On these recordings (the complete output from his final sessions in 1983), he is supported by his working band, the New Hawks, with guest appearances from pianist Ron Levy and the Roomful of Blues reed section. J.B. is in top form here, with his gritty slide guitar and plaintive, uninhibited vocals showing how fresh and exciting the Chicago blues style can be in the hands of a master.
