"blue max is not a well known, but a great blues band. i'm a blues musician and collect both known and unknown blues artists. both their covers and originals are done well. i gave this cd a 4 star rating not because i didn't like it, but because this particular cd was listed under slide guitar blues. and, although there are great slide numbers on the cd, it's only about half slide. and that's what i was looking for. but,if you like straight-up blues, buy this cd. you'll like it.

"There are some guys out there who play "white boy" blues and some that have soul and play blues the way it was meant to be played.Howard Luedtke is one of the few bluesmen left that has
the soul of what blues music really is inside him.
This album is probably the most raw recording of him, and in my opinion the best studio album. Howard is without a doubt the best slide guitar player in the midwest and when he plays you can feel raw emotion coming from his Les Paul.
If you like gritty blues and slide guitar you owe it to yourself to check him out.
the instrumental "Howie's Boogie" is one of the best tracks, "Stranger Blues" Is Great as well. What is really amazing
is the resonater slide guitar song by robert Johnson: "walkin Blues".Howard's rendition is awe inspiring.
This album is easily one of my favorites of all time!"
