This album, Jimmy Thackery's first for the Telarc label, marks a change of direction for the former Nighthawks frontman, thanks to his decision to focus on the work of soul great Eddie Hinton. Although Thackery has concentrated on R&B before, notably in the late 1980s and early '90s during his stint with the Assassins, that aspect of his sound is very much in evidence here, tempering his trademark gritty blues-rock sound with a touch of smoothness. That's especially evident on the ballads, of which there are quite a few; the title track brims with sultry sweetness. "It's All Wrong but It's All Right," another Hinton song, includes a guitar solo in Thackery's Buddy Guy-influenced style, making it a perfect blend of source material and good, old-fashioned inspiration. By the final notes of the closing track, Hinton's "Big Fat Woman," anyone not already a Thackery fan is bound to be converted. One thing that hasn't changed is the energy and verve the guitarist always brings to his work. --Genevieve Williams
