The record

King Curtis's tenor is the surprise in the credits, cutting across Sunnyland Slim's piano and singing while Robert Banks fills in on organ. Leonard Gaskin and Belton Evans take the rhythm. Ten sides, 'Decoration Day' and 'The Devil Is A Busy Man' among them, with Nat Hentoff's liner notes and an Esmond Edwards cover photograph. Prestige reissued it in stereo in 1969.
