"Loyal to the outrageous slide-guitar of Chicago blues exemplified by his uncle J.B. Hutto and Alligator's first signee, Hound Dog Taylor, Lil' Ed and his band pack the songs of their eighth album with all the piping-hot, controllable energy we've come to expect".

" ... his music reflects the kind of raw-edged exuberance that characterized most shows in big-city urban jukes during the music's postwar heyday ... His slide can make his guitar scream like an outraged panther, moan like a hell-bound soul in torment and act the fool like a trickster ... Lil' Ed is a true blues roots man, and both traditionalists and contemporary-minded blues lovers with big ears should savor what's here".
