Juke Boy Bonner (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Alvin J. Simon, Alan Simon (drums).

Likely the most consistent and affecting collection youll encounter by this singular Texas bluesman, whose strikingly personal approach was stunningly captured by Arhoolies Chris Strachwitz during the late 60s in Houston. Twenty-three utter originals include Stay Off Lyons Avenue, Struggle Here in Houston, I Got My Passport, and the title track. Bonner sang movingly of his painfully impoverished existence for Arhoolie, and the results still resound triumphantly today.
