Twelve titles in all - 9 new self- penned originals and 3 'covers' from the catalogues of Brook Benton, Mose Allison and Clarence Henry'Rhythm All Over / Kiddio / Heart & Soul / I Can Fix It / (I Don't Know Why I Love You) But I Do / Be On That Train / Your Mind Is On Vacation / Old Man Dreams / Jump Up / Red Letter Day / A Love Affair With The Blues / Hate To Leave (Hate To Say Goodbye)
