The new album is pretty good for an old fella with a good lineup of some
of the best young musicans like guitarist Mark Whtfield and bass player
Christian McBribe.Highlights are Papas got a brand ..and Watermelon Man.
But IMHO nothing beats the fire of his early best albums on Blue Note esp
back at the Chicken Shack and Sermon.
