"James Harman blows hot harp and his band cooks like crazy on this live CD. Good quality recording of live set captures the energy and power of JH & company's timeless blues."

A Real Goody

"Years ago, Iwalked into a local club to listen to this band. Never heard them before. Afterwards. I thought they were as exciting as any blues band I'd ever heard. And that night, he'd only one guitarist with him. I immediately picked up this tape (in those days, it was either cassette or LP). Much to my pleasure, he had two great guitarists with him, plus a fine bass and drum section, probably the same ones that I'd heard before. This band was not only more exciting than the one I'd heard, but tighter as well. And then there were those excellent vocals and harmonica playing. Imagine my pleasure at seeing this out on CD, with extra cuts besides. I eagerly await even more, if possible."

Thank you baby!

"James Harman doesn't get much better than this. A nice live recording (the best way to see and hear the man) featuring not just James Harman, but Kid Ramos and (the late) Hollywood Fats! The band cooks throughout and everyone turns in a banner performance. I'm a bit jaded as James Harman is a favorite of mine, but this is about as good as live "west coast" blues gets. Do yourself a favor and get this CD!"
