Quello di Hammond è rimasto sempre un blues canonico nonostante attorno a lui scoppiassero, negli anni sessanta, rivoluzioni musicali a non finire ed il suo stile rimane tale anche in questo album realizzato in collaborazione con Tom Waits e con cover proprio dello stesso Waits. Il blues viscerale di Waits diventa normale nelle mani di Hammond ma rimane di buon livello. Il brano migliore, comunque, è l'inedito tradizionale "I know i've been changed", cantato a due voci…
