"This is a collection of cuts from Shines 3 Testament LPs from the 60s and his Advent LP from 74.Some of the Testament cuts have Shines on electric guitar with Big Walter Horton,Otis Spann,Lee Jackson and Fred Below.One cut has young Luther Allison on guitar there are also 2 solo acoustic cuts .The 2 Advent cuts have guitarist Phillip Walkers band.The sound is better than those old Testament LPs.A nice collection of Shines material."
