"I have heard of Tommy Castro but this is the first CD I have brought from him. I have to say that I really enjoy this CD. There are some good rockin blues-rock songs such as " If You Ain't Lovin, You Ain't Livin", "Blinded In The Face Of Love". We also get some good down and dirty blues as " Dirt Road Blues". John Lee Hooker makes a small final appeance on "Guilty Of Love" even though I think his part was to short and could have been more instrumental to the body of the song. That aside, this is a great CD for fans of blues and of rock alike"

"As you must know by now, Shaq is the "The King Of The World Blues Reviewer", so when I bought this CD I was hoping to get da blues baby! This CD did not fulfill, my blues requirements, but was a good purchase nonetheless. I would definitely put this in the pop-rock category rather than the blues. It has some good toe tapping songs, and if you listen carefully there are some clever lyrics in a number of songs. One of my favorites is "Whole Lotta Soul". Here it is six years later, and I still think of the lyrics of this song, when I see a beautiful girl walk by in the airport, or in the park... "When she walks through the park, the birds stop singing, just to watch her walk by".. "As she passes the playground, the boys stop swinging, and they're too young, to even know why!".. "She don't need no painting up, she's a natural born, work of art!" IN SUMMARY: Though only a few songs, have a true "blues" feeling, Shaq still recommends, a purchase, and I know you'll enjoy it."
