ALEXIS KORNER
An inspirational figure in British R&B music, responsible for bringing together many British blues legends
and furthering the genre. Without Alexis Korner, there still might have been a British blues scene in the early 1960s,
but chances are that it would have been very different from the one that spawned the Rolling Stones, nurtured
the early talents of Eric Clapton, and made it possible for figures such as John Mayall to reach an audience

RECORD NEAR EX (please, also read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
A basically competent, though hardly enthralling, effort from the British bluesman that alternates between minimal, acoustic-flavored production and fuller arrangements with jazzy touches of flute and upright bass. Korner wrote about half of the material, leaving the rest of the space open for R&B/blues covers and adaptations of traditional standards. "The Same for You" has a strange, ever-so-slight psychedelic influence, with its swirling flute, fake fadeout, and odd antiestablishment lyrics. Korner's voice is (and always would be) a tuneless bark, but it sounds better here than it did on the first album to prominently feature his vocals (I Wonder Who, 1967). As such, this album is one of the best representations of Korner as a frontman...(AllMusic)
