...Hear Me Knocking" opens with a couple of minutes of the finest rock guitar I've ever heard, before moving into a slightly disappointing five-minute jam. The side closes with "You Gotta Move," a traditional blues reminiscent of "Come On In My Kitchen" and "Sittin' on Top of the World."

Dorothy Collins stands out on the album as the finest voice in the company, but there are no really bad voices except that of Yvonne De Carlo, who has one tremendous song called "I'm Still Here" which Elaine Stritch should get a crack at sometime...
