Like every other Ervin album I’ve heard this one is lovely. I’ve been after it for a long time. It’s quite difficult to find in great shape so I’m happy to have found this copy which is in top shape for sure.
Ervin had a very unique style and one that is immediately recognizable. Like I’ve mentioned before, his approach is fiery and very skilful. Always connected with the blues, always soulful, whether it’s a beautiful ballad or a real cooker.
I’m aiming to collect plenty more by Ervin and I’ve managed to find several of his titles on Prestige already. I really dig those later groups.
This album is of course highly recommended.
