Noted for it's jam-like quality and melancholic, but mesmerising atmosphere, it would further exemplify his hypnotic, drone-like guitar playing style and his battered vocals. And would gain further attention as a noted release within the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_country_blues Hill country blues]] scene during it's popularity spike in the 90s.
