Williams Brothers alumnus Henry Green gets top billing on the solid “There’s Been a Change,” but the song really belongs to special guest John P. Kee, who shouts his testimony as if he were a Williams Brothers alum. Kee is so emphatic about his testimony that at the end, he suggests that if you don’t believe him, just call his wife.

Kee punctuates his section with good old gospel hollers that sound part sanctified, part Jay Hawkins diabolic, as if every shout were an attempt at joyful exorcism. Likely they are, and from the sound of it, they worked.
