"Doug recorded an outstanding Blues album which pays tribute to Louis Armstrong, Guitar Slim and Fats Domino among others. There is a raw energy here and Doug is in top form; there is not a bad song in the set. This is the CD I listen to on the way to work in the morning to get myself revved up for the day. This gem is a must for every Blues fan. This along with DOUG SAHM and BAND are my favorite recordings. Raw and Powerful"

"I have every Doug Sahm album (including the Sir Douglas box set) and this is one of my favorites. Doug is in his blues nich and even though he sang all styles of music, blues was his strongest point. Boy, I miss this man..

"A Grammy nominated album and one of the last recordings by Doug Sahm. If you like Texas blues and New Orleans R&B with a powerful horn section this is a must. Great blues and R&B standards with new brilliant arrangements, such as "Reconsider Baby" (Lowell Fulson), "My girl Josephine" (Fats Domino), "Bad BOY" (Louis Armstrong), "Honky Tonk" (Bill Doggett) or "T-Bone Shuffle" (T. Bone Walker) to name just a few. Some of the tracks have been recorded live at Antone's Nightclub in Austin, Texas. Doug Sahm sings, plays guitar and piano and produces the album with Derek O'Brian, who also plays guitar on some of the tracks, sharing the role with guitarist Denny Freeman. Great instrumental solos throughout the whole album and lots of Hammond B-3 organ too.



In Sahm's own words, this album is dedicated to Clifford Antone, Jerry Wexler and all the real blues dudes. Highly recommended."
