The sequel to a well-received 1974 album, TOGETHER AGAIN?LIVE features the two veteran bluesmen (who first played together as members of the Beale Streeters, the legendary early-`50s Memphis group) trading licks (guitar and vocal) on a nice selection of some of their signature tunes, including King`s "Everyday I Have the Blues" and Bland`s "Stormy Monday." These old pros clearly relish playing off each other, and the atmosphere is decidedly relaxed and informal (check out the verbal horseplay on "Mother-In-Law Blues"). The end result isn`t the deepest blues ever recorded, but it`s still good down home, rowdy fun.
