"First of all , Paul Rodgers is the best male vocalist period. On top of that you add Jeff Beck, David Gilmore, Slash, Gary Moore, Brian Setzer, Steve Miller and a few other unbelieveable guitar wizzards, you can't possibly get a better blues alblum. And lest we forget they're playing the songs of Muddy Waters! Don't waste any more time thinking, this is a "10".Paul Shaffer is also there on the B-3."

"First, let me confess I have the American version and I just can't quit listening. The various guitarists perform inspired blues work and, when accompanied by Rodger's excellent vocals...well, it's just a MUST HAVE for any blues man. Steve Miller's rendition on Hoochie Coochie Man is unique! What an innovater! David Gilmore's crying guitar work in Standing Around Crying will leave you drained and Rodger's vocal work here is equally inspiring. Gary Moore will really move you as he thunders through his rendition of She Moves Me. Rodger's anquished voice is most convincing. Jeff Beck makes 3 appearances topped by his soulful I Just Want To Make Love To You. I could go on about the other guitarists but I'll just guarantee if you're a blues fan you'll thank me for convincing you."

"If your a Blues fan and appreciate the distinctive voice of Paul Rodgers then you are bound to enjoy this album. Whilst not producing the depth of feeling that a Muddy Waters original might, one cannot but appreciate listening to a great voice singing great songs backed by the best guitarists around.If the only thing this album does is to introduce a wider audience of guitar fans to the brilliance of Muddy Waters blues classics, then the making of the album was time well spent!!"
