Big Joe Turner made relatively few recordings during 1960-66 but things started to look up in 1967 when he began recording for BluesWay. His initial Bluesway set has been reissued as a Mobile Fidelity audiophile CD. Backed by some top studio players of the era (Buddy Lucas on tenor and harmonica along with a four-piece rhythm setion), the 56-year old classic blues singer shows that he was still in prime form. Nothing too surprising occurs other than the fact that the ten songs are all Turner's originals. Best-known are the two vintage hits "Roll 'Em Pete" and "Cherry Red" while some of the newer tunes are more forgettable although still delivered with spirit. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
