Funny this, think it was an idea from the record company to make him seem more current. So, it had the opposite intention. Not sure why it would be 'needed' at that point? Black audience not counted? possibly getting more into Soul etc at the time.
& young white audience much more relevant?

Think it sounds better if you forget it being about the singer.
Backing band grooves are very interesting & feature a pre-Miles Pete Cosey.

They repeated the experiment about 6 months later with Howlin Wolf which i just found out has been reissued on cd on Get on Down, thought it was vinyl only on Light In The Attic.

Was the Endless Boogie lp a further attempt at something similar tried with John Lee Hooker?
