Liner Note Author: David Whiteis. Recording information: Chicago Trax, Chicago, IL. Photographer: Peter Amft. The Chicago guitarist/saxist spreads his stylistic wings considerably further than he did on his debut, embracing funk more fully than his first time around but offering enough tasty contemporary blues to keep everyone happy. The prolific triple threat (he's also an engaging singer) wrote all but three tracks himself (one of the covers is the shuffling "Small Town Baby"; its composer, veteran pianist Jimmy Walker, plays on the cut). ~ Bill Dahl Producer: Maurice John Vaughn Engineer: Julian Herzfeld   Compilation Appearances Vol. 3-Genuine Houserockin' Mu Vol. 5-Genuine Houserockin' Mu New Bluebloods Alligator Records 25th Anniver   Associated Artists and Works Emery, B.J.
