Walking on Fire in Bloomington, MN

Another in the remarkably consistent Alligator catalog of
Kenny Neal
that strikingly captures his contemporary Baton Rouge blues sound. He gets a little hot help from
the Horny Horns
-- alto saxist
Maceo Parker
and trombonist
Fred Wesley
-- who once filled a smiliar role behind the Godfather of Soul himself,
James Brown
. Two songs find
Neal
going the unplugged route, just as he had performed them in the Broadway musical
Mule Bone
. ~ Bill Dahl
