It's almost a sin that the backup musicians are not identified on this disc. We would not be wrong to say they rock on "Baby, What's Wrong" but those of us with longer memories would also rightly say they swing, and swing hard. This must have been a juke box hit. It's eminently danceable. Elmore James proves he has chops on the guitar by staying with this bunch, particularly the bad ass sax man. You'll be surprised how much space they give that sax, but you won't begrudge a second of it. He's hot and soulful.

It sounds like the same bunch of guys on "Sinful Women", but they relax back into a more usual blues groove for that track. It shouldn't be a letdown, but some how it is. If you're going to listen to both sides, do yourself a favor and listen to "Sinful Women" first. It's a better than average blues track by a better than average blues band and it deserves to be appreciated for that.
