Lowell Fulson was revered by B.B. King as a "sleeping giant". His second Kent album, released in 1967 is a brilliant masterpiece in the history of the blues. The title track was a big hit, reaching No. 5 on the R&B charts in 1966. The cover by Otis Redding & Carla Thomas (1967) was also a hit and became a major sampling material since the 80's. It is the "original funk blues". Originally, 11 songs from the "Tramp" session in 1966 were recorded for the purpose of making an album, plus "Black Nights," a masterpiece of slow blues with a profound sound and a voice filled with immeasurable depth that creates an ineffable lyricism.
