"well, i thought eg kight could not get any better, and she has

shown me and everyone else what she is really made of...this cd

speaks volumes of her songwriting ability, her talent for choosing other musicians to grace her recordings with their talent and her natual gift for pulling together such a variety of styles and sounds..the acoustic is brilliant and her band memebers really show their stuff with this new sound..where is this 3 time handy award nominee for 2004 going with this skyrocketing talent? don't know for sure but this is one blues

lover who is hanging on for dear life to enjoy the ride!!!!"

"This CD starts with a great track, "I'll Believe It When I Feel It", and just gets better from there. There isn't a bad cut on this album and it's hard to pick a best - so I'll just hit the highlights.



Eight are originals. The second tune, "Nothin' Ever Hurt Me", is a gritty, bluesy good riddance number. She also ventures into jazz with Duke Ellington's "I Ain't Got Nothin' But The Blues" and her own "I Don't Want To Start Over", with special guest Ann Rabson (Saffire - Uppity Blues Women) on piano. "When You Were Mine" evokes a sad, romantic, thirties feel a la Django Reinhardt, with Greg Piccolo on tenor sax. Then there's the gospel sounding "Can't Blame Nobody But Me" and the 12 bar, delta blues of "Peach Pickin' Mama". Two other songs aren't originals but E. G.'s interpretation is a lot of fun - "Southbound" and "I Ain't Got No Business Doing Business Today". The latter, as the song suggests, will make you want to stay home and "play".



E.G. Kight not only has a terrific voice, she's also a great song writer. She has a way with lyrics that really get you where you live, such as "I've been set up just to be laid down" and "everywhere I go is where I've already been". What else can I say. The more I hear this album, the more I like it. Great songs, great musicians, Great E.G. Kight. 5 stars!

EG - Better than ever!

"The only thing better than a new bluesy CD from EG is seeing her live! IF you ever have a chance to spend an evening with EG Kight don't miss out, you will be on your feet yelling for more! This CD comes as close to experiencing EG live as any she has put out and I own them all. She has teamed up with some talented musicians who allow EG to shine and connect with her songs in a very personal and moving experience. The blues never sound so true and so good at the same time, this Georgia gal really soars with this recording!"
