It's over.
Wikipedia doesn't say it is.

Well, as the bonus tracks play...
That was well-ace.
Of course, cos it's teh BlooZ, it has a trappedness with certain genre permutations.
But then it should be viewed in context.
Plenty of inventive and thrilling riffs on the basic Blues and Creole format.
Hugely influential too.

It is over.
It was competent but uninspired. There's a limit to how many times I need to hear the same chord sequences, rhythms and instruments on one record.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Quote :
In the 1960s Jenkins [...] employed a young Otis Redding as singer. As Jenkins did not have a driver's license, Redding also served as his personal driver
During a recording session [...] Jenkins left forty minutes of studio time unused [and] Redding used this time to record a ballad, "These Arms of Mine".
Quote :
In 1964, Jenkins released an instrumental single, "Spunky"
