Review by Jeremiah Nelson

Johnny Hodges And His Orchestra's album "Things Ain't What They Used To Be Thats The Blues Old Man" is a classic masterpiece of the blues genre. The album features Hodges' signature saxophone sound and his band's tight and powerful arrangements. The album is a mix of classic blues standards and original compositions that showcase Hodges' virtuosity and his band's ability to swing hard.

The album opens with the title track, a slow blues number that sets the mood for the rest of the album. Hodges' saxophone playing is soulful and emotive, and his band provides a solid backing that enhances the mood of the song.

Other standout tracks include "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)," a Duke Ellington classic that Hodges turns into a showcase for his lyrical saxophone playing, and "Squatty Roo," an original composition that features Hodges' band swinging hard and fast.
