If you like TJW you won't be disappointed-it might be a little slicker than his normal fare but this is no sell out-its no blues fest either-certainly bluesy but closer to country soul-see the testifying compliations for similar fare.

Rating: - Tony Joe - so underrated
I've bought literally all this man's music,seen him live several times,and think that this is his best overall album.So many great tracks,but dip the lights,lay back and listen to the title track a few times - it's just brilliant.He does a tremendous live version on the Live in Germany DVD.Cannot see how this only rated 2 stars previously but what's an opinion?

His version of the same is, by far better, and Tunica Motel and Undercover Agent For The Blues are excellent. This is a CD that I lent to two friends, and within a week of returning it, ... Read More
