Entertainment Reviews:
Down Beat - 9/92, p.48
4 Stars - Very Good - "..This is stout stuff that explodes out of the chute...Clearwater packs this album with one blues rush after another...holds lots of promise for getting the good word out on another talented, but underexposed and overlooked blues artist.." Option (Sep.-Oct./92, p.97) - "..Clearwater's undiluted electric guitar is a pleasure to hear...He's casual and good-natured while delivering some powerful blues.."
Audio Magazine (11/92, p.124) - "..Clearwater whips out thin, whiney leads that slip and slide when you least expect it, creating a distinctive voice that compliments his gliding, throaty vocals and often humorous metaphors.."

Clearwater wrote the lion's share of this well-produced collection, reaching back for material by Jimmy Reed, Otis Rush, and Willie Mabon to round it out. The usual infectious mix of shimmering West Side blues, hauling rockabilly, and even a touch of funk on "Little Bit of Blues." Guitarist Will Crosby shares lead chores with his boss, and Carey Bell (Eddy's cousin) handles the harp work. ~ Bill Dahl
