"Moss and Gruenling make it their mission to keep the greasy sound of Chicago blues alive, and while they're traditionalists, they're not stuck in the past. Lucky Guy! makes that plain by heavily relying on originals - Moss wrote 11 of the tunes, with Gruenling delivering a matching pair for good measure -- that let the band show both a bawdy sense of humor and a big heart".

"This is the second album (and second on Alligator) for 2019 BMA Winners Chicago veteran guitarist/vocalist Nick Moss and harmonicist Dennis Gruenling who joined forces last year for the widely acclaimed High Cost of Low Living. You could say they are riding a hot streak, thus the title of this new effort, Lucky Guy! We often throw around terms like "he's a monster" when describing certain musicians, as this writer recalls seeing Nick Moss once where he played guitar in one hand and his bass in another, the instruments looking like mere toys in his hands. Given his large physical presence, "monster" seemed appropriate in more ways than one".
