"Heard "Voodo Chile" at a friend's house (was doing a comparism to Hendrix - I think Melvin Taylor's version is much better from a technical point of view, you can actually hear the bass...) - also his technique is so smooth, so fluid it took my breath away! Also had a listen to "All You Love (I Miss Loving)", having been brought up on the Mayall (Bluesbreakers) version, and again was blown away by Taylor's version. So, I just had to have it (and the other CDs as well :> ) - whd"

"This is an album that sits on my shelf next to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmy Hendrix for he is truly of their kind. His powerful yet lirical guitar playing can calm you or work you into a rage. I cannot believe he is not more famous."
"As soon as this cd starts you'll get blown away at this guy's licks. AWESOME electric guitar solos. Great effects and lots of wah-wah. Slow blues - rockers - and instumentals. If you're into guitar a-la Hendrix, this is the guy for you!"
The torch is passed

"jimi passed it to stevie, and now that torch has been passed to melvin taylor. which means that melvin also has influences from freddie king, albert king, t-bone walker to name a few. but don't get the wrong idea. these guys put the wow in power trio. i was blown away when i heard this cd. he has taken the torch, tweaked it his own way, and he is going to make it burn hot. play this disc and you will both amaze and astound your friends."
