(5 out of 5 stars)

"Did you expect anything less than a 5 star rating for this recording? Joey could do a great tenor-organ recording with one hand tied behind his back. This is swinging, exciting playing that equals any organ group you have heard. Tenor sax player Houston Person adds immeasurably to this group with his soulful playing. Joey's long-time associates Paul Bollenback on guitar and Byron Landham on drums cannot be improved on. The CD title "All About My Girl" is somewhat deceptive in that the songs are not all about girls, although we hear about "Donna Lee" and "Sonny Gets Blue." To quote Joey, it is more about wanting "to get together and do what we love, playing blues and standards." In fact, Joey calls this one of his favorite albums. Good luck in finding this out of print Muse label recording."
