When the Kinsey Report signed on to back their father for Can't Let Go, the group was at their peak, so it would have made commercial sense for the boys to move their direction. Fortunately, they went the other way, choosing to stick to Chicago blues. The Kinseys don't play it straight, however, they rock it hard, which energizes Big Daddy and makes Can't Let Go a thoroughly enjoyable collection of hard-rocking contemporary Chicago blues. /Thom Owens, AllMusic

Personnel: Big Daddy Kinsey (vocals, guitar); Donald Kinsey, Ron Prince (guitar); Kenneth Kinsey (bass); Ralph Kinsey (drums); Lucky Peterson (keyboards); Matthew Scholler (harmonica); Vycki Z. Walls, Yvonne Jackson (backing vocals).

Let's just say that the songwriting of this venerable Chicago singer-guitarist--papa to the young guns who lead the Kinsey Report band--doesn't measure up to his intentions. Despite its title, this 1993 effort is a tribute to Kinsey's role model Muddy Waters. And luckily most of the tunes are classics from Waters ("Mannish Boy," "Got My Mojo Workin'," "Walking Through the Park"), Sonny Boy Williamson ("Nine Below Zero"), and others. The expert support includes Buddy Guy and Big Daddy's son Donald on guitar; harpmen James Cotton, Sugar Blue, and Billy Branch; piano legend Pinetop Perkins; and Lucky Peterson on organ. So the playing is every bit as Delta-authentic as Kinsey himself, whose deep Mississippi-accented voice is a glorious time machine that transports us back to the era of the Saturday night fish fry. --Ted Drozdowski
