This might be the best debut album ever delivered by an American blues
band, a bold, powerful, hard-edged, soulful essay in electric blues with
a native Southern ambience. Some lingering elements of the psychedelic
era then drawing to a close can be found in "Dreams," along
with the template for the group's on-stage workouts with "Whipping
Post," and a solid cover of Muddy Waters' "Trouble No More."
There isn't a bad song here, and only the fact that the group did even
better the next time out keeps this from getting the highest possible
rating.
