The comparison of Connor to Bonnie Raitt is unavoidable, considering the similarities of their vocal style and skill at slide guitar. But Connor offers a more savage guitar approach, akin to George Thorogood, and she comes on as a bit nastier.

The band, with Jon Mark on acoustic guitars, Mayall on harmonica, vocals, and acoustic guitar, Johnny Almond on flute and saxophones, electric bassist Steve Thompson, and no drummer, turned the entire notion of blues-based rock on its head. While the recording side of this was documented on the album The Turning Point, the soundtrack offers a version of how the music worked in live settings. Disc one offers a teaser of Mayall's Blues From Laurel Canyon version of the Bluesbreakers in the final moments of wailing through "Parchman Farm." from a May 9, 1969 gig in Birmingham.
