John Alex Mason is a very talented artist, and he demostrated in this album what kind of skills he has in his pockets.So far I really enjoied his music as One Man Band,Solo,and backed up by other performers. I have listened to all his work and I particularly liked the early recordings, where you can really hear his skills as a solo performer and writer.I wish that he would start traveling and performing more outside his area. I am a representative for USA of Roots'n'Blues Association from Parma (Italy) and I would like to take him to the Rootsway Blues Festival in Parma (Italy). He deserves to be heared from the Italian Blues Fans!!! TONY NEGRI Representative in USA of Associazione Roots'n'Blues Parma (Italy)

beautiful,soulful,versatile and mature album that comes straight from the heart of the artist.Anyone who has but the slightest like of blues music can go out and get this album without hesitation.You will not be let down.This WILL touch your heart,because John Alex Mason is a man with a great,beutiful heart,the Heart of America.And this is where his music is coming from,uncompromised,honest and intense.When he sings about New Orleans,you'll hear the tears in his eyes,and you'll feel yours too.When you hear him hugging Robert Johnson,you'll feel the joy of being with Robert in a 30's juke joint with a shot of whiskey. When he sings about travelling,you'll feel lonely too.When he sings about the problems in this world,you can't help but thinking to yourself:"what can I do to help make it at least a little better?"When he sings about Locomotive trains,you can't help but joining in and feel the rythm and dance.When he's singing about how he's asked a girl to "stay all night,stay a little longer",you'll.......Well,you'll have to find out for yourself,because that song is not on the album. This is an elektrifying and arousing album that shows that John Alex Mason is at his very best when he's doing music with the one-man band. It's a treat to listen to this CD and an even bigger treat to go out and see him on stage.I for myself most certainly do hope to see him again one day.(I'm living in Europe,so it's not that easy for me to just hop over the Big Pond,but I'm saving some money allready.......)
