About the single:, "What Kind of Man Is This" (feat. Koko Taylor):

Widely acknowledged as the Queen of the Blues, Koko Taylor delivers this powerhouse Chicago Blues performance. Her trademark assertive vocals are equal parts sugar and salt, empowerment and vulnerability, and growl and grace. The band delivers the classic Chicago shuffle with two alumni of the Muddy Waters band (Bob Margolin and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith) plus Bob Stroger, Little Frank and Bob Corritore, whose Windy City harmonica provides the perfect foil to Koko’s voice. All hail the Queen!
