While the name Eddie Boyd isn't mentioned as often as a number of other Post-war Chicago pianists, there should be little question that Boyd was a highly captivating and solid blues artist in his own right. With a recording career that began as a session player for John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson and Jazz Gillum in 1945, Boyd's first recordings under his own name commenced in 1947. Working for Victor, JOB, Chess, Bea & Baby, Palos, and various other imprints into the 1960s, Eddie moved overseas making Belgium his home.

This session was produced by Mike Vernon in London over the course of three dates in March of 1967 (originally appearing on a Decca LP) and is certainly another worthwhile entry in Boyd's catalog. Often maligned for their sometimes unsympathetic backing, the British players here (Peter Green, Aynsley Dunbar, John McVie, and Tony McPhee - among others) offer good support on more than half the tracks. McPhee offers some fine slide on two cuts (Dust My Broom and Save Her, Doctor), and Green's tasteful, spot-on guitar adds heat for two versions of Too Bad as well as Ain't Doin' Too Bad, Blue Coat Man, The Train Is Coming and Night Time Is The Right Time. The rhythm section of McVie and Dunbar (bass and drums respectively) keep things minimal and simple, but John Mayall's harp playing is little more than perfunctory on Key To The Highway and Pinetop's Boogie Woogie. Boyd excels on his few solo tracks; Unfair Lovers, Letter Missin' Blues and The Big Bell, although those with just a rhythm section behind him (Steak House Rock and Rack'Em Back) are just as solid.

Eddie Boyd did fare better with Peter Green and a stripped-down version of Fleetwood Mac the following year on 7936 South Rhodes (another Vernon-produced session originally issued on Blue Horizon), and while that's a better set, Eddie is in potent form here.
