"Bruce McCabe's vocals and piano drive this unforgettably fun blues band's live show recorded at The Cabooze Bar in Mpls. The beat will make you wanna dance in your living room. Charlie Bingham's guitar solos are the cleanest you'll ever hear. This CD will grow on you with every listen....be careful if you listen while driving down the freeway....'cause I know you'll be speeding before the first song is complete. This band was the #1 bar band in the Twin Cities from the late 80's until '96. They are currently sidelined by the fact that their leader Bruce McCabe is now the keyboardest and songwriter for young bluesman Jonny Lang. Jonny's latest album Wander This World features a few from Bruce, most notably Still Rainin' and First Impressions."

"Definitely the best local band the Twin Cities has probably ever seen. I feel extremely fortunate over several years to have witnessed the enormous talent this band has. Most live albums don't seem to do a band justice, but this one does. With the "die hard" fans taking part in some of the songs and an occasional glass breaking in the background, you feel like you're right there - I was. If you never got the opportunity to hear these guys, do yourself a favor and pick up this CD. You won't regret it."

Love This CD!

"I had this album as a cassette tape which was played so much, it eventually broke. So, I was happy to be able to find the CD online. I'd missed listening to it for a few years. It's a great album from a great band."
