本盤は90年代半ばに六本木WAVEで 「VOLUNTEERED SLAVELY」 と一緒に買った再発輸入盤レコード、全11曲中9曲がR&Bやロックのカバーで "Which Way Is It Going" "Blacknuss" の2曲が R.Kirk 作です。A面冒頭の "Ain't No Sunshine" は Kirk の flute が凄い。音色が「尺八?」と思わせる力強い演奏、メロディも印象的な曲なので「このレコードも傑作?」と 思わせますが、他の曲は個人的に今ひとつのカバー。B面は、Old Rugged Cross と Blacknuss が R.Kirk 色が濃い何時もの演奏なのでファンならA面よりB面がお薦めです。
