Chris' impressive debut CD for the Juniper Records label was recorded when the guitarist was only 19 years old. It features Chris backed by the expert rhythm sections of bassists Dwayne Burno and Neal Miner, drummers Greg Bandy and Joe Strasser, and also features tenor saxophonist Doug White on two tracks.
Highlights include the first version of Bergson's original composition "Sad Strains" which has since become a staple of the Chris Bergson Trio's live repertoire. An impromtu suggestion from producer, Doug White, to "just play some blues" became the album's title track. You can hear some of Bergson's key influences displayed during this impromptu soulful Blues - his playing evokes everything from Jimi Hendrix to Charlie Parker to Wes Montgomery.
Jim Fisch, of Twentieth Century Guitar Magazine stated in his review of the album,
"With his first release, Bergson proves himself ready for the big time."
