This live recording came on the heels of his studio album 'My Secret Life,' released in 2004, showcasing his continued evolution as an artist even into his sixties. Interestingly, the 2006 performance recorded the poignant energy of Burdon and his band, which included Red Young on keyboards and Eric McFadden on guitar, reflecting a fusion of blues, rock, and jazz elements.
