Power Blues

"I really love Howard's Brown Paper Bag album, but Liquor Store Legend is even better. The production is very good and Howard's guitar smokes throughout. There a couple of rockers on this album, but Howard always plays them with a blues feel. This is unlike some of todays blues guitarist who to me play rock rather than blues.
The slow blues Wonder Why is great and the accoustic numbers Got To Get It Going and Next Train Out compliment it.
The guitar solo's in Power and Walking In The Rain leap out at you and I defy anyone who says they can keep still when listening to Lets Go For A Ride, Hanging By A Thread, and Take Me Baby.
This is a very good album by an excellent musician who has a genuine love performing blues."
