Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during the same legendary 'three-track shack' sessions that produced his acclaimed 1971 eponymous comeback, this archival release captures the iconic guitarist in incredibly raw, stripped-down form. The album is a stomping, heavily distorted celebration of swampy country-blues and primitive roots rock, highlighting Wray's unmistakable, aggressive guitar tone. It is a primal, unpolished document of American rock and roll at its most fundamental.
