The queen's first album for Alligator, and still one of her very best to date. A tasty combo sparked by guitarists
Mighty Joe Young and
Sammy Lawhorn and saxist
Abb Locke provide sharp support as the clear-voiced
Taylor belts Bobby Saxton's "Trying to Make a Living," and
Magic Sam's "That's Why I'm Crying," her own "Honkey Tonkey" and "Voodoo Woman," and
Ruth Brown's swinging "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean."
