2009, Hi Records / Fat Possum Records
"This album...catches Willie Mitchell in superb form, not only as an arranger but as a leader fronting a first-rate ensemble...The material ranges from new Mitchell-authored instrumentals to covers of standards such as 'Slippin' and Slidin'' and 'Sunny' (which could've been considered for a double-A-sided single, and the latter might've just placed Mitchell onto the easy listening charts without compromising his sound; it's that good). The playing by guitarist Teenie Hodges is worth the price of admission and gets put in the spotlight surprisingly often, considering the abundance of first-rate reed and horn talent on hand." - All Music Guide
