Genre: Blues
Places I remember: Bought recently from a guy off the Facebook group - Vinyl Lovers of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Sail Away
Gear costume: Sonny's Thing; White Boy Lost In The Blues.

Active compensatory factors: I think this one is a case of too many cooks. The guest list is extensive - John Mayall, Arlo Guthrie, Sugarcane Harris, John Hammond, Michael Franks, and a slew of background vocalists.
I struggle to hear them in the mix (apart from Sugarcane's violin of course).
As far as Sonny and Brownie go, less is more for me in the instrument department. Just a guitar and a harmonica are all they need to set up a vibe.
That said, there are plenty of great moments on this set, including Sonny's trademark whoops and hollers. Sonny also has an equal presence here - singing, talking and playing that wonderful harmonica.
Where do they all belong? Another worthy addition to the blues section.
