This Reprise Records release, one of the last recordings by T-Bone Walker two years before his death,
 was produced by the exceptionally talented writing and production team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
 20 tracks were recorded in 1973 with the A-list of early 70's LA session players, a number of sidemen
already major jazz artists themselves, a big-band horn-section and The Sweet Inspirations
as the vocal backing. Wilton Felder, Michael Omartian, James Booker, Jim Gordon,
Dean Parks and Larry Carlton are heard together with jazz-legends Dizzy Gillespie,
Gerry Mulligan, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Herbie Mann and Charles Brown on piano.

The memorable gate-fold jacket with the wrap-around photo of a rare T-Bone steak was designed by Craig Braun,
the brilliant album designer of The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers LP and the iconic "Licks" tongue and lips logo.
Some other memorable albums he designed from the 70s are Alice Cooper's School's Out,
 Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin III and the Grammy Award winner The Who's Tommy
(with the London Symphony Orchestra) boxed set.
