Lickin' Gravy The harpist didn't have much luck in the recording wars: his 1969 Mercury album sank with little trace, while a 1976 LP for T.K., Funky Butt Lover, did equally little for his fortunes (it was later reissued in slightly altered form on Rooster Blues as Lickin' Gravy). Around 1981, Butler moved up north to Ontario, Canada, and continued his career. A decade later, he cut the first of two albums for British producer Mike Vernon; These Mean Old Blues was an engaging set of original material cut in London. Stranger, the fruits of another English session, emerged in 1994. (Allmusic -Bill Dahl)

Really great sound quality and just tough sounding blues! Always like his voice since discovering his 'Open Up Baby' LP back in the 80's! Thank you for posting.
The original UK title was The Devil Made Me Do It For some reason when released two years late in the US (Bullseye) it was renamed These Mean Old Blues. Go figure....
Here's a discography:
