Mythical soul/boogie record recorded in Louisiana by Nigerian multi instrumentalist Rick Asikpo when he was studying in Houston.

Rick Asikpo started his musical career while studying in Houston, joining local Black Artist collective The Peoples Workshop, before returning to Nigeria and releasing a run of successful albums throughout the 80’s.
