I don't usually like live albums but again Sam Taylor doesn't dissapoint. Great Stuff loved you in patchogue RIP BLUZMAN

This was done LIVE at the 6th annual Riverhead Blues Festival in Riverhead NY & it was dedicated to the memory of Ms.Vicki Staciwo(the promotor that yr 2004)who died suddenly, in her office that previous April.It was a magic night to be sure. Electricity was in the air as Sam & Co. took the stage. My only concern was that Sam mentioned on the cd he was "black-balled" from the event the previous year ...thats a bit of a dramatiztion, but good for effect. Truth is Sam & previous promotor could not reach a finanical arrangement, plan & simple. But that doesn't take away from the cd one bit. It's probably going to remembered as Sam Taylor at his very best & that band with the amazingly young talent of Danny Kean makes this cd a must for Sam Taylor fans.

To see and hear the great Sam Taylor is truely a moving and wonderful experience. To have a taste of that on a cd to be enjoyed at home or while driving is a real treat. Bluzman Back Home is for sure Sam Taylor at his finest; at the Riverhead blues festival with an incredible band, including Big Al on tenor an the great Danny Kean on keyboards. A must have disc for any casual blues fan.

This is a great CD full of energy and great playing. The sound is fantastic and flows really well. I also recommend Tom Saputo's "Blue City" CD. Thanks Sam Taylor!
