Musselwhite reveals his jazz influence on three tracks, making them entertaining harmonica workouts. But for blues fans, Musselwhite's biting licks and spiraling riffs are best featured on such numbers as "If I Should Have Bad Luck" and "Leaving Blues.

Master harmonica player Musselwhite, between contracts, knocked out a quick album for the tiny record label Arhoolie that turned out to be one of the best things he ever did: He blew his way through songs like "Finger Lickin' Good" and "Highway Blues" until the whole world seemed to center on that harmonica.
