Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Sexual Telepathy' pairs eight new Earl King compositions with re-recordings of three earlier songs, the sessions rotating three backing bands: the Black Top All-Stars, Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, and the Antone's house band. Snooks Eaglin contributes guest guitar and George Porter Jr. plays bass on part of the program, anchoring King's singing and guitar in the New Orleans rhythm and blues tradition he helped define.
