This album as been a favorite of the blues band fans since its release. The band is one of Northern California's most talented and experienced blues outfits. Michael's arrangements and compositions, as well as choices of blues standards, has always been a cut above. Check out Louise, an old Howlin' Wolf tune.

REVIEWS

Michael sounds great.
author: Keith Ridenhour
CD was fine but if you have a chance to hear Michael in person do so. The live music is 20 times better than the CD. I was disappointed to not hear more of the sax player, Roger Volz. I'll just have to go hear them live again and buy the next CD. K

Full Range of Great Blues
author: Elwood
Michael Barclay shows great range from slide ("Drivin' 95 Blues") to texas shuffle. I especially loved "Redheaded Woman" which picks up where Stevie Ray left off, and the jazzy "Dark Night" and classic blues in "Louise". There's great guitar rifts in every track not to mention sugar on top harmonica in "I Refuse" and ideal companion of Sax in "Gimme a Break". The production quality is great and the accompanyment is flawless. I'm sure the band is great live, but it's hard to fit all the instruments in the car when you're drivin' 95 down the road!

Great collection of moving, groovin' blues songs.
author: Amy Gannon
Great collection of moving, groovin' blues songs. The band is dynamic with an excellent mix of guitar, base, horns, keyboard and vocals. I have listened over and over and each time find myself wanting to go back for more. If you are looking for hot, movin' blues tunes, this is your CD.
