One of the unsung heroes of British blues, this one-man band was a fine harmonica player
and singer, a decent guitarist, and a soulful enough singer to make one overlook
his distinctly unbluesy high voice. The opening "Worried Mind" -- just Duster on harp, guitar, voice,
high-hat and kick drum -- is a marvelously sloppy shuffle romp that holds its own
with the Fabulous Thunderbirds' work ten years hence. On other tracks Bennett is backed
by three-fourths of the original Fleetwood Mac, who provide simple, effective support
without stealing any limelight; solos are kept to a minimum. Originals "My Lucky Day"
(with chromatic harmonica) and "Jumping at Shadows" which Mac would later cover)
are absolutely outstanding, and Duster does justice to Magic Sam's "My Love Is Your Love."...(AllMusic)
