His own unique mix of blues, soul and southern funk which I know will have the critics struggling to categorize. Indeed, if you have picked this album up in a record store there are several 'sections' it might have been displayed in!

On this album are the last recordings of the legend that will always be Lucky Peterson. Lucky was determined to help launch Steve's solo career, and this album will also be known as Steve Washington's first recordings. That's fitting, as their collaborations and partnership produced a set of genuinely creative and important recordings. But it's now Steve's musical journey that we will be following. This will be interesting...'
