Jack McDuff (1926-2001), grande jazzista americano nascido em no estado de Illinois, escolheu como seu instrumento o orgão elétrico. Sua música mistura o Jazz com ritmos Soul e com elementos do Blues, Rock e Pop. Conhecido pelo gosto exigente com os guitarristas de sua banda, tocou com ele Georg Benson, que inclusive foi na banda de McDuff que Benson inciou sua carreira. Gravou dezenas de discos, os dois períodos mais produtivos na sua carreira foram nos anos 60 e depois nos anos 90. Separados por um certo período de decadência que se abateu sobre McDuff em especial nos anos 70.
Gravado em 1967, pela Atlantic, esse disco destoa da enorme quantidade de discos que McDuff gravou nos anos sessenta. Na maior parte desses discos são baseados em um balanço soul, Tabacco Road não, centrado em harmonias pop/rock em equílibro com as melodias criadas por McDuff. Excelente.
