It’s all a good ‘thang” as my readers from Texas would say.
From the moment I heard Jon Wong’s honkin’ tenor solo on Just Wait and Lindsey’s Beaver’s Etta James- esque lead vocal crossed with Mike Archer’s bass work on the title track I was back in ‘wailer zone”
Having said that how about Elliot Sewell’s reverb drenched solo on Spitfire or the Fats Domino style to All I Think of is You with Jesse Whiteley’s piano and Wong’s solos back to back.
I recently took this cd into my vehicle heading to my last blues gig as inspiration and it heated the vibe very nicely.
Absolute jump track for my house party is You Know.
Git It!!!!
