Liner Note Author: Herb Wong. Recording information: Mad Hatter Studios, Los Angeles, CA. A first-class set of belting blues, wailing ballads, and soulful numbers from the versatile veteran.

JazzTimes (3/96, p.85) - "New Orleans-born vocalist Linda Hopkins belts soulfully in the big voice tradition of Helen Humes, Bessie Smith and Ida Cox....Hopkins delivers with uncanny power and a touch of sass....A first rate example of classic jazz-blues."
