Synopsis

Amazon.com
It's hard to articulate what elevates Whiskey Store above your standard, run-of-the-mill, guitar-driven blues album. Certainly the talent of the main players involved has something to do with it, not to mention guests including Charlie Musselwhite and Double Trouble. It's not surprising, then, that Whiskey Store is a topnotch, rollicking good time. It kicks right in with the energetic, riff-heavy opener "I Ain't Broke," and moves on to the title track, a slow blues drenched in trailing guitar lines. Other highlights include "Strange Things Happen," which has some great harmonica from Musselwhite; the ballad "Unknown Legend"; and the bouncy, uptempo instrumental "Freddy's Combo." Overall, Whiskey Store offers a slew of excellent choices. --Genevieve Williams

"The CD is so hot that it may burn your hands off just holding it. The guitar playing of Beniot and Thackery are just fantastic. This little known CD should be in any blues or rockers' collection. The vocals are surprisingly good and the backup is "all pro." This is one of the best live recordings I've heard in a long time. I hope they come out with more!"

"I saw Whiskey Store Live at Ft. Lauderdale Riverwalk Blues & Music Festival and was "blown away". Fantastic in a word. The Whiskey Store Live CD is just like being live in concert with them. The CD & music is "Smokin Hot". The CD should be in every blues lovers CD collection. Crank it up and let the music fly, you will tell all your blues lover friends to buy it."

"Former front man for the Nighthawks Jim Thackery and Louisiana sensation Tab Benoit get together with the dream team of Charlie Musselwhite on harp, Reese Wynans on B3, Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums for an exceptional release which has plenty of emotion and fiery guitar. Covering the songs of Colin Linden, Percy Mayfield, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Neil Young and a smattering of originals, including a remake of Benoit's slow burner "Nice and Warm", the duo moves effortlessly through the material as if all of the songs were their own. It's not often that collaborations come together this smooth, but when it does the result is beyond expectations. The only thing better would be to see this line up in a concert setting. One of the years best!"
