| AllMusic | |
| The Atlanta Journal-Constitution | B+ |
| Robert Christgau | |
| DownBeat | |
| The Gazette | 4/5 |
| The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings | |
Robert Christgau called the album "country blues in the spirit of friendship, like John Hurt did it." The Star Tribune wrote that "Davis continues his dogged but creative commitment to traditional acoustic blues." The Gazette determined that "Davis recalls the days when jug bands ruled Memphis's Beale St.," writing that his original songs "preserve and carry forward the tradition." The Birmingham Post opined that Davis "has an inbuilt empathy with the music, without any of the vaudeville hokum of Keb' Mo' or the sophisticated gloss of Eric Bibb." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution concluded that "his previous albums have sometimes been weighed down by an artificial vocal gruffness... Now he has found his voice."
AllMusic wrote that "he's listened hard to classic Delta blues and based his style on it, without ever becoming a carbon copy of the greats."

# Taku Sugimoto

Taku Sugimoto, born December 20, 1965, in Tokyo, is a Japanese guitarist.
He initially gained attention in the late 1990s for his restrained, melodic playing, unusual in the world of free improvisation. Critic Bruce Russell describes this era of Sugimoto's music by writing: "Sugimoto is perhaps the pre-eminent stylist on the guitar ... He brings a golden glow to every session he partakes in, having abandoned amped up noise in favour of a much more introspective and calligraphic style of play."
Around 2002 his music became increasingly abstract, all but eliminating melody and featuring extended periods of silence.
He has collaborated with other Japanese musicians involved in the Onkyo movement, such as Sachiko M, Toshimaru Nakamura and Otomo Yoshihide. He has also collaborated with musicians from European free improvisation scenes, notably trombonist Radu Malfatti and guitarist Keith Rowe.

# Sebastian Leone

Sebastian "Sam" Leone (December 6, 1924 — November 14, 2016) was the borough president of Brooklyn from 1970 to 1976 and a justice of New York Supreme Court from 1977 to 2001.

## Early life

Leone was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1924 to Anthony Leone and the former Josephine Gilistro. When he was an infant, his family moved to Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, where he grew up. He attended P.S. 97, David Boody Junior High School, and Lafayette High School, all in Brooklyn, and after a stint in the U.S. Army, graduated from St. John's University in Queens in 1946.

## Political career

Leone got his start in politics in 1948, when as a law student he met Frank J. Pino, then a New York State Assemblyman, who had come into the Leone family's grocery store in Bensonhurst. He rang doorbells and spoke to voters on behalf of Mr. Pino, who was in a tough reelection fight that year. After Pino won his election, Leone joined the United Democratic Club in Bensonhurst.
Leone graduated from his undergraduate alma mater's law school in February 1949 and entered private practice shortly thereafter. After two years he set up his own law firm, then formed a partnership with Irwin R. Brownstein, who later became a New York legislator and a judge. In 1965, Leone became a law secretary to Judge Philip M. Kleinfeld, who had also been a long-time legislator and judge, and at that time was a judge in the Appellate Division in Brooklyn. The next year, Leone became district leader of the United Democratic Club, a post previously held by Brownstein. After five years as Kleinfeld's law secretary, Leone was "angling to become a Civil Court judge," but the Brooklyn Borough President, Abe Stark, became ill and decided to resign, leaving a three-year unexpired term. Leone was selected by Meade Esposito, the long-time Brooklyn Democratic leader, to be Stark's replacement, and was promptly elected interim Borough President by the Brooklyn City Council delegation on September 9, 1970. He was formally installed as borough president on September 18, 1970. Two months later, the voters elected him to serve the remainder of Stark's term, and in November 1973, he was elected to his own full term.

## Judicial career

However, Leone was averse to the fund-raising required for political office, so in 1976, he was nominated for a position as a justice of the New York Supreme Court. He served from January 1977 until he retired in January 2001.

## Personal life

Leone married Helene Morgenstern in 1966, and they had a son, Matthew. He died November 14, 2016.

## In popular culture

The opening credits of the television show Welcome Back, Kotter, which was set in Brooklyn, began with the image of a large highway sign that read, "Welcome to Brooklyn, 4th Largest City in America, Hon. Sebastian Leone Borough President".
