"Bobby Rush's Rounder debut should cause rejoicing among longtime fans and newcomers alike. The indefatigable "funk folklorist" has lost none of his legendary transgressive wit or genre-straddling acumen ... guest stars such as Vasti Jackson, Keb' Mo', Dave Alvin and Joe Bonamassa provide both musical muscle and further crossover potential ... the decidedly non-ironic sound [...] brings a newfound gravitas to even his most ribald storytelling ... This is a masterful disc, recommended for blues, soul blues and southern soul lovers of all stripes".
