The first solo record in many years from ex-Manfred Mann and Blues Band vocalist Paul Jones, made with a glittering cast including Austin guitar stalwart Jake Andrews, legendary saxman Ernie Watts, Hollies vocalist Mikael Rickfor's, Neil Young bassist Tony Marsico, Stevie Wonder (among others) drummer Alvino Bennett, Eagles keyboardist Mike Thompson and two guys you may have heard of, soul legend Percy Sledge and guitarist uber-legend ERIC CLAPTON (Paul and Eric actually teamed back in the '60s in the shortlived group Powerhouse on our What's Shakin' reissue)! EC actually appears on two cuts here, Choose or Cop Out and the title track, while Paul duets with Percy on the bonus track, Big Blue Diamonds. The other tracks, which range from swingin' to smoldering, bluesy to boppin', include Lover to Cry; If You Love Me (Like You Say); Sundown; I'm Gone; Philosopher's Stone; Still True; Need to Know; Gratefully Blue; When He Comes, and Alvino's Entourage. All produced under the watchful eyes (and ears) of CCM label artist Carla Olson. Hey man... we got legends recording for our little ol' Collectors' Choice Music label!
