A delightfully eclectic program spotlighting nearly all of
Gate's musical leanings -- blues, jazz, country, even a hearty taste of "Louisiana Zydeco" -- and a revealing glimpse of his multi-instrumental abilities: he plays guitar, violin, drums, and piano! There's a tender remake of the
Chuck Willis R&B ballad and a funk-tinged update of "Got My Mojo Working," but everything else is from
Brown's own pen. ~ Bill Dahl
