"Blues At The Opera? It's an ambituous concept and who better to attempt it than the late Z.Z Hill along with material from Gary U.S Bonds & Swamp Dogg ? There's even narration provided by WZZA dj/owner Bob Carl Bailey. That's just the first chunk of stuff here. Great phat liner package from producer Jerry Williams a.k.a Swamp Dogg lays out the facts & hoo haw surrounding these relatively obscure Muscle Shoals & L.A recordings. Suffice to say much mid-60's money marauding & meddling kept Z.Z Hill reticent to do biz with shysters like Phil Walden, Quin Ivy etc. After some legal wrangling Swamp Dogg was able to get an injunction lifted and get Z.Z back on the charts in the mid 70's and into the early 80's with some of this material. Jerry has also included some bonus type revamped "collector's versions" with newer instrumentations. Not every note is notable, but the total 21 song package has it's merits."
