"The California roots rockers have choosen to interpret songs written by or associated with a variety of blues artists, including Oscar Brown Jr., Leroy Carr and Lead Belly. Featuring some of the same backing personnel as their previous release (...) 'Lost Time' picks up where 'Common Ground' left off. From first listen, the Alvins' affection for this music is evident. They pay tribute by playing the songs their way - rendered with an edge, yet retaining the essence and energy of the originals".
