This is a review of the release by Willie Foster called Live at Airport Grocery. Eight of the nine tracks on the recording are original Foster tunes starting off with a cool instrumental, Just Messin' Round, a swinging Chicago style blues shuffle lead by harp and jamming guitar riffs. Love Everybody is is a solid blues track driven by a solid bass track and Fosters vocals. Honey Ain't Sweet, a soulful ballad has some interesting harp playing. Hoochie Coochie Man give the band a chance to stretch out a little bit and Fosters vocals fit this song quite well. Janie On My Mind is a slow blues and possibly the best track on the release. Instrumentation is really solid and the vocal track is loose. Promise Me Love is an uptempo blues again harp driven and you can tell that Foster gets jazzed up during up in the mood with his hollerin'. My Dear old Dad and Willie's Boogie wrap up the set with straight up blues tracks. These have a semblance of JL Hooker and show the raw characteristics in Foster.
