"Wow! How special! How refreshing! How very uncommon it is to find an artist with the soulful integrity of Michael Burks. This first CD is a true reflection Burks' remarkable relationship with his guitar. From Chuck Berry to Jimi Hendrix -- presented with all the verve, clarity, spontaneity and power of Mr. Albert King himself. But it's even better than that. It's as if Burks has the same genetic "stuff" as these legends. With genuine respect for the music he was bred on Michael masterfully transforms the very foundations of electric blues guitar into an elevated contemporary experience that is completely satisfying - and as rock solid as a mountain of granite. This is the genius of Michael Burks.Buy it!"

"Heard him live in concert - purchased the CD and it sounds exactly the same - AWESOME! Can not understand why he is not more popular. If you like Albert King you will love Michael Burks. Just a matter of time before he blows up bigtime!"

"I can't believe I actually paid $35 for a single cd.I wasn't familar with Michael Burks when this cd was released but since I love both his other cd's and couldn't find this one at a regular price I took a chance.I'm so glad I did because this is the best of the three.No weak tracks,just good old fashion Chicago blues in the style of Albert King of course.Rockin' blues and great ballads.Get it,you won't be sorry."
