"If you were wondering where rhythm comes from, you've just found the source. These guys have it. And they have tone, too. Yep. And... oh yeah, they rock!!



But seriously... There needs to be a lot more of this type of stuff going on. There's too many people playing the blues and behaving themselves. Those two things don't go together. If anyone in Amazonworld is tired of hearing some dude singing about his blues and his feeling and his Kool-aide man voice gonna break through your wall and spray a bunch of cheese whizz on you and your old lady, then take a listen to these guys. The thing I can't understand is that Cedric (the drummer) has two arms like the rest of us. I've seen him. Two arms. Not 6 or 8 or 20. 2. And Garry is gonna get arrested for playing with that dirty tone and slick style. This album breathes new life into... into what? Hell, I don't know--whoever listens to it. It's good, dangit. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Buy it if you want to. Or if you prefer, call me up, and I'll do my impression of Fat Albert singing "The thrill is gone." I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you? Why am I the first to review this album?"

FINALLY!!!! Some new Blood and innovation in the Blues!

"I first heard the Burnside Exploration in 2003, when they were still getting their act together;had the pleasure of performing on the same bill with them.In Them,You hear the NEXT NEW THING IN THE BLUES;rooted in the North Mississippi Hill Country Boogie of Daddy RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough;but with strong roots in Jimi Hendrix,Cream and classic rock,Modern R&B and Soul. all they need now is to get some strong Hip hop related feel in their mix and you HAVE THE NEXT NEW THING IN THE BLUES!"

The Trance Blues tradition continues...

"If you thought the Trance Blues was dead the day RL Burnside died, think again. If you love that kind of music and wish the Black Keys wasn't the only band making it these days, THINK AGAIN. RL's kids are alive and well, and this record is like a window into a juke joint in Holly Springs, MS."
