More Info
Reissue, originally released in 1968. Husband-and-wife soul duo Ike & Tina Turner produced an astounding string of hits during the 1960s and '70s, before Tina went solo. Unjustly overlooked at its time of release, the duo's first blues album finds Tina's passionately powerful voice holding plenty of grit and Ike's guitar a restrained accompaniment throughout; the take of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Crazy 'Bout You Baby" has gripping electric piano and buzzing blues harp and Ike's "Grumbling" is a killer guitar groove. A good mix of covers and originals, it shows how well the duo could work in the blues idiom. Another great LP for all Ike & Tina fans! Licensed from Good Times.
