Hill (tenor saxophone), Rayfield Devers (baritone saxophone), Teddy Reynolds (piano), Clarence Holloman (guitar on some tracks, notably “I Don’t Want No Woman,” where Bobby Bland shouts, “Look out, Clarence!” in the middle of the guitar solo), Wayne Bennett (guitar on other tracks), Hamp Simmons (bass), and John “Jabo” Starks (drums).
