The record
Lonnie Johnson takes guitar, piano and vocals in the credits, which name no other player. Twelve performances range from 'New Orleans Blues' and 'Moaning Blues' to 'Summertime' and 'What A Difference A Day Makes,' a wider spread of material than the title lets on. Prestige's 1969 stereo pressing was mastered by David Hancock, with photography by Esmond Edwards.
