This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
It took 20 years for Portland blues harmonicat Paul deLay to work his way to the Windy City. Now, as he sings, he’s “making up for lost time.”
For his 10th album, deLay and his harp team up with a crack combo and crank out some hip-shaking, earth-quaking, ain’t-no-faking Chicago blues. And when vocalist Zora Young and guitarist Jimmy Dawkins put in appearances, it ain’t nothing but a house party, baby. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take deLay another 20 years to make a return trip.
