This reissue of the Hollywood Fats Band's self-titled (and only) LP from 1979 (on PBT International -- long a collector's item) could be either lauded for being incredibly authentic or knocked for being a bit apish -- were it not for the level of musicianship from Mike "Fats" Mann on guitar, Al Blake on harp, Fred Kaplan on piano, Richard Innes on drums, and Canned Heat's Larry Taylor on upright bass. Great ensemble groove, although the excitement Fats could generate live never really translated to the studio. [The 2000 reissue on AIM records adds three bonus tracks.] Dan Forte, All Music Guide
