"I gave this a listen on the strength of the guests - Keb' Mo', Albert Lee (both Blues royalty), Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna) and, erm, Charlie Harper from the UK Subs (what?!). Once the album got cracking, I stopped listening for the guests and just enjoyed it. Solid blues-soul, it shifts between blues rock and soul, in a polished style with a big band and loads of twisting guitar and punchy vocals ... This is a really solid and pleasing blues-soul album from a veteran who still has it - the blues - and the soul".
