Hot Tuna
's second album of 1975 began with a cover of
Jimmy Reed
's
"Baby, What You Want Me to Do"
rendered in the group's characteristic noisy electric-guitar style, an approach that was typical of this more-of-the-same album. By this point,
Jorma Kaukonen
seemed to have found a balance between his songwriting ambitions and the need to provide springboards for the group's boogie-all-night improvisations. Here,
"Sunrise Dance with the Devil"
and
"Bar Room Crystal Ball"
feature good lyrics and excellent hooks, yet still fit into
's heavy approach. ~ William Ruhlmann
