I know Orville has certainly paid his dues, and by the sound of this album, so have his colleagues, John and Grant. For this acoustic folk-blues-pop journeyman's money, these guys have laid down some of the most exquisite and ballsy tracks of acoustic blues and Americana anyone has heard in a while. They're not just some fussy old white men doing museum pieces - they have lived this music for a long time, and it shows. David Lange's clear recording, seemingly devoid of effects and featuring well separated instruments, puts the final gloss on this fine addition to your blues library. Us musicians are a notoriously cheap lot, always wanting to trade CDs rather than spend money, but I was happy to pay retail for this one!

Conveys beautifully the sense of being in the room with these three master players. Atmospheric recording. Vituoso but selfless playing - a musical conversation. Vibrant mandolin, mellow intricate guitar, insinuating harmonica by a master of tone. This is one great album.

This CD will transport you smack dab into an old hammock, swingin' in the late summer breeze on the banks of the lazy roots blues river. A richly textured blend of blues history, style and musicianship that goes down as easy as a gin fizz or two with your old fishin' buddies.  A must have!

Really hits the spot for that old time blues, Grants harmonica playing is non other than the best....... The deep voice and instrumentation really is out of sight!
