"Let's establish two things from the start. Ronnie Earl is the King of Tone and, secondly, Ronnie Earl & the Broadcasters have never made a bad album in recent history. This may even be one of the best. Let guest David Bromberg, master guitarist and musicologist without many peers, explain, "Ronnie Earl is an incredible musician. He plays with more emotion than anyone else who plays blues, or really anything today, and he gets me every time I hear him. The Broadcasters are the quality of musicians you would expect Ronnie to be playing with -solid, tasteful, and moving. You can't do better than that."".

"Ronnie Earl is the most soulful blues/jazz guitarist working today. He is a four time Blues Music Award winner as Best Instrumentalist - Guitar. The Broadcasters include Earl; vocalist Diane Blue; Dave Limina, Hammond B-3 and piano; and the rhythm section of Paul Kochanski, bass; and Forrest Padgett, drums. They are joined by numerous guest artists as Ronnie states "this is a band album - a community of souls with some new directions and some good old down home blues". This recording is Earl's twenty-sixth".

"What makes Earl's guitar playing so compelling is that he possesses a searing single-note style that allows him to address the conflicted feelings within him ... this new album throttles along with his eloquence spread across originals, as well as songs from Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Bob Dylan and soul singers Jerry Butler and Timmy Thomas. A couple minor issues, though. Kim Wilson and Dave Bromberg are just about useless as guest singers".
