Rare Studio Versions and Wild Live Renditions make this CD ROCK!!!
author: John Thomas MacLeod
I was fortunate enough to see GBC live in Southern California twice in 2006. WOW! The best band I have seen in a long time. David Raven & Mick Stover are the tightest rhythm section since the days of Stax & Motown. Dave Osti is of the brightest stars in today's Hard Blues scene and Teddy ZigZag (Guns 'n' Roses) is the best Hammond B3 player I have seen since Jon Lord played Osaka with Deep Purple. I love the new bonus LIVE tracks because they capture the incredible vibe of a GBC concert. My favorite tracks on this COLLECTOR'S EDITION are "Since I've Been Loving You" (better than Zep), the bonus version of "White Room" (the hottest solo of the year), and "Living at the Aztec Hotel" (greasier than vintage ZZ Top).

These Gentlemen KICK ASS!
author: The Pasadena Weekly
... Gentlemen’s Blues Club could be described as something of a super group, composed of members who all come with impressive musical resumes. Band leader and bassist Michael (Mick) Stover is one of the founders of the infamous BB Chung King & the Screaming Buddaheads, a band long known for its “party ‘til you drop” blues rock style. Vocalist/guitarist “Dirty Dave” Osti is credited with having written over 500 songs, as well as being one of the most respected blues-rock guitarists in Southern California. His song, “The Thorn,” on the GBC disc “Shotgun Wedding,” was nominated for a Grammy. Drummer, producer and actor David Raven is also a familiar face on the LA music scene, with a list of album credits as long as a Fender Strat. He’s worked with Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Ricky Martin, Iggy Pop, Dread Zeppelin, Nancy Sinatra, The Surfaris and many more. Keyboardist Teddy Zigzag is a top-call Hammond B3 master, having worked with Guns & Roses, Alice Cooper and many other top names. In addition, GBC is often joined onstage by luminaries Alan “BB Chung King” Mirkitani (front man of the Buddaheads), guitarist/vocalist Philip Sayce (Melissa Ethridge, Jeff Healey) and drummers Lee Spath (Buddaheads) and Joe Travers (Zappa). If you like your blues hard and sweaty, this... is it.
