Here we have a team; Shorty with his prodigious talents was the perfect centerpiece, Otis Grand with his guitar playing and production and band leading skills is simply beyond ‘world class’. Add a superb band and a really good studio and you’re in business. The album won a Handy Award. Further JSP collaborations with Otis Grand followed, resulting in stone classic albums with Phillip Walker, Joe Louis Walker and Joe Houston.
Until he joined forces with British guitarist Otis Grand’s band and waxed this very credible comeback set, David “Guitar Shorty” Kearney’s legacy was largely limited to a solitary single for Cobra and a handful of great but legendarily obscure followups for Los Angeles-based Pull Records during the late ’50s. The acrobatic guitarist informed everyone he was alive and lively with this one, exhibiting his Guitar Slim roots on “Down Thru the Years” and slashing with a vengeance on “No Educated Woman” and the title cut (but shouldn’t it have read “or the highway?”).
