Culled from a couple of nights in a Boston jazz club and recorded on a cassette deck with two microphones, this stunning of Hutto with Hound Dog Taylor's band in support gives new meaning to the phrase raw'n'steamy. Although the trio is fleshed out at this point by the addition of a fairly obtrusive bass player (Mark Harris) and a guest piano man on a couple of tracks, the sheet metal tone of Phillips' and Hutto's twin Telecaster attack cuts through the murkiest of mixes and Ted Harvey swings mightily.
