Drink Small, the blues doctor, will surely heal us, his patients with this CD. Accompanying himself on piano or guitar with occasional vocal backup from Mamie Roberts and Preston Rivers he treats us with everything from downhome blues to gospel. My personal favourites being Bingo lover and the gospel numbers at the end, Glory, glory and Roll, Jordan, roll. This is a record full of warmth and humour, so don't hesitate, buy it and you're really gonna have a great time together with Drink Small.
