Ever since listening to his rendition of "Georgia on My Mind" that is included on the Pick Hits album I felt that John Scofield style and approach to guitar playing really lends itself to play tunes that Big Ray had in his repertoire. To that extent this compilation produced by great drummer Steve Jordan is no disappointment. 13 tunes of Ray played "Sco-style" with strong groove but yet cool by John and a team of high caliber musicians. You won't hear anything earth shattering though and those of you who are looking for something very innovative will likely miss that on John's record. This is meant as a (guitarist's) tribute to Big Ray and in my book it fully delivers to the promise.
This whole record is inspired. I never get tired of listening to it. Musician's musicians, everyone on the album. Plus, there is a little bonus track at the end that flat grooves.
