King's last Shelter album was his most elaborately produced, with occasional string arrangements and female backups vocals, although these didn't really detract from the net result. Boasting perhaps heavier rock elements than his other Shelter efforts, it was characteristically divided between blues standards (by the likes of
Willie Dixon and
Elmore James),
Leon Russell tunes, and more R&B/soul-inclined material by the likes of
Ray Charles and
Percy Mayfield. It's been reissued, along with his other Shelter albums, on the King of the Blues anthology. ~ Richie Unterberger
