AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
"It seems strange to realize that this was Mose Allison's only recording during the 1973-1981 period. In addition to his trio with bassist Jack Hannah and drummer Jerry Granelli, such guests as altoist David Sanborn, Al Cohn, and Joe Farrell on tenors and trumpeter Al Porcino pop up on a few selections. However, Mose Allison is easily the main star, performing ten of his originals (including a remake of the famous title cut, "What Do You Do After You Ruin Your Life," and "Swingin' Machine") plus renditions of the standards "Foolin' Myself" and "I Can't See for Lookin'."
I just noticed while listening that there is a lovely Monkish bounce to this Mississippi Be-Bop!

Nice one KC. Hadn't heard this for a while. Mose had a good innings, but still sad to see one of my faves go. Never did see him live. But now the world has ended, I guess none of us will be going out as much :-) Thanks again.
