The material on this album was recorded in concert shortly before Jimmy Witherspoon’s death at age 74, and it appears that this was his last recording. The significance of that fact cuts both ways on this attractive but sometimes frustrating album. On the one hand, fans will welcome it as a last document of Witherspoon’s undeniable talent and presence. On the other hand, it’s hard to overlook the fact that by this point he was no longer at the peak of his powers. Although he tries gamely to generate the energy of his past work and occasionally succeeds, as on the electrifying “I’ll Always Be in Love With You” – for the most part his voice is phlegmy and weak, his intonation approximate at best.
