Iron City (album)


Iron City is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances said to be recorded in 1967 and first released on the Cobblestone label in 1972. While "Big" John Patton is credited on the sleeve, anecdotal evidence from drummer Ben Dixon and Patton himself has suggested it was Larry Young, not Patton, playing on the record.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 3 stars calling it "a fine, overlooked date that showcases some of Green's hottest, bluesiest playing".
