Also featuring guitarist Melvin Sparks, organist Charles Earland, and trumpeter Ed Williams, the ensemble really catches fire on \"Turtle Walk,\" a Donaldson original where the groove sounds natural and helps push the soloists. The Donaldson-penned title cut also gets pretty funky, though the underlying vamp is a little insubstantial to stretch out over ten minutes. The Tommy Turrentine ballad \"Bonnie\" returns Donaldson to the sweet, romantic territory he's mined so well over the years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50203782938817,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1407\/4970\/files\/lou-donaldson-hot-dog.jpg?v=1778546879","url":"https:\/\/hathillrecords.com.au\/products\/lou-donaldson-hot-dog-vinyl-lp","provider":"Hat Hill Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
