The producers would like to thank everyone involved in this most complex project-without unprecedented quantities of help, patience, and care of the entire mob, nothing could have been accomplished. Special appreciation for notable help to Dave and Sue Chapman and the staff of the ABC London office, whipped into shape by the lovely Denise (with The Leaky Umbrella Medallion Award to Ernie-may the London sun always beam in June); to Mike Vernon and all the Blue Horizon People; to Philip Roberge and his organization, and the entire Korner family; to Sue, David, and the Command staff; to Anna, Lynn, and the Olympic gang; to Les Perrin, Jim Grey, and the crew; to Danny Halperin and the Graphreaks bunch for putting themselves out in such special ways in our behalf; to Matthew, who earns the full share of EMI bonus points; to the Michael Zagor and Evan Medow families for kindly making available acoustic instruments; and finally to the administrators of the American Federation of Musicians, through whose kind offices the entire international project was able to be achieved.

Stripped down well but less style & dated "show biz"
Review written by John Fitzgerald, March 14th, 2005 After recently reviewing King's "King of the blues 1989" this album does seem much more stripped down than that album in comparison and though consisting of dated "show biz (as Peter Green referred to it) blues music", this is another borderline call which I'll give three stars to here as I feel the "King of the blues 1989" set generally has the edge as I tend to play that one more often than this one though of course it is debatable as to which is the "better album" and undoubtedly both albums are NOT the place to go if you are just wishing to investigate King's best works as neither of these albums are that by a long shot. Oddly, the CD edition of this album does not list Green at all though the vinyl editions did list him as playing guitar on the swinging opening highlight "Caldonia". It sounds to me like Peter may be playing the second guitar solo in, though that is just my guess after all. "Blue shadows" has a light funk feel with good leads and howling vocals. "Alexis' boogie" is an acoustic tinkling instrumental featuring harmonica. "We can't agree" returns us to the slight funk though this one sounds more dated. "Ghetto woman" is a "The thrill is gone" type soul destroyer though this track is not nearly as effective as "Thrill..." was/is. The string bursts on this one hurt as well. "Wet hayshark" is a short instrumental which does have some great B.B. guitar lines but unfortunately they are drowned by the piano chunks and horn toots. "Part time love" has good swing but the horns are intrusive to King's strong lead fills here. "Power of the blues" is an ineffective short, fast piano led chunker and "Ain't nobody home" sounds tinny overall but generally if you've heard the version of this song done by Bonnie Raitt (released a few short years after this one was) then you can say that you've basically heard this version for the most part as well. This album does have more good guitar stuff on it than I remembered it to but even then, there could've been so much more and therefore made this a better album altogether.
