A 2000 solo album by John Kay, the founder of Steppenwolf. The album offers a gritty view of contemporary life, surveying the human toll of institutional callousness with unflinching clarity. John, whose evocative growl is one of rock’s most distinctive voices, offers some of his most heartfelt performances. John is a man who has something to say. And the blues is his music.
