Synopsis
Album Description Rod Piazza, considered one of the preeminent harmonica players around, has become a commanding presence at the forefront of today?s blues scene. Along with his skin-tight band of the last quarter century, Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers have won the prestigious "Best Blues Band of The Year" W.C. Handy Award three times along the way. Speaking of the new album, Piazza told Blueswax, "It's a happening record, one of the toughest and best I've ever done. Part of it is that so many of the songs were recorded live in the studio in one take, but another part is that because we've been doing these songs live, we've really had a chance to learn how to react to each other's playing."

CD ReviewsKeepin' It Real JP | FL | 06/10/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Just picked it up today from Best Buy, and it smokes. It's bluesy with an up tempo beat that rocks. A great addition to my CD collection!" Ho hum D. Smith | Portland, OR | 08/27/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "Piazza is consistantly a good player year after year. His backup band continues to grow but I don't think the same can be said for Rod. I think many Piazza fans would love to see recorded more adventerous harmonica such as in the song "Devil Foot". This CD is well recorded (except for two of the songs being out of pitch, which may nag those of us who like to play along)and an honest reflection of what Piazza sounds like live."
