Nothin' to it but to do it

"Perennially underappreciated, Watson has the sound, the authority, the creative spontaneity and the admiration of his peers to be counted among the best guitarists of the past 30 years. The Californian's latest solo effort, his fourth, shows that he remains a master, injecting new life into disregarded blues, r&b, soul-jazz, soul and ska songs of the 1950s and 1960s ... Vocals, though, are the album's vulnerable point. Alabama Mike busts his gut on two tracks, but Watson and Lisa Leuschner Andersen, splitting eight cuts between them, don't convey anything out of the ordinary".
