"Restlessness is a chronic state for Sugar Blue, who in this case, finds both new sounds and new places to record. The harmonica virtuoso wrote and recorded on four continents, U.S. (Chicago), China, Europe (Italy), and Africa (South Africa) for Colors. As we've come to learn Sugar Blue, expect his albums to be eclectic but he takes it to another level here. Sure, you'll hear some blues, but you'll be surprised by many other sounds along the way ... He's at the intersection of blues, jazz, pop and we can now add 'world' to his repertoire. Add that all up and maybe it explains the 'strange' reference. It's impossible to compare anyone to him".

"The veteran's rocket-speed runs on harmonica are the stuff of ebullient, if overbearing, virtuosity, and his ferocious imagination makes him reach out for the unexpected. This album (...) has the former Rolling Stones sidekick sizing up the Bo Diddley beat ("And The Devil Too"), the Beatles ("Day Tripper"), a dreamy strain of Afro-pop ("We'll Be All Right" with African show choir Afrika Riz), self-created Wild West mythology ("Bass Reeves") and Americana balladry ("Bonnie And Clyde"), along with several blues numbers. Count on Blue, too, for faulty singing that has its odd charm".
