I saw this band (in Tucson) open for Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top. I have been a LONGTIME Skynyrd and ZZ Top fan, HOWEVER the Screaming Cheetah Wheelies OWNED the stage. Funky, rocking, emotional, impossible to sit still is how I would describe the band. This album, is their best and has something for everyone...emotional, well-written songs that MOVE, and some of the most beautiful guitar playing EVER. Enjoy.

i have all three albums and i must say i'm surprised i haven't worn them out yet. they are hands down the best band i've ever seen live.. including a 4-hour two-set jam in nyc. i just wish get back together and record another album. Trust me, if you get any of their stuff you won't be disappointed.

The third CD released by the Screamin Cheetah Wheelies, this one certainly does not let down. The Wheelies once again show thier versatility with the songs ranging from the hard-rockin "Boogie King" and "Right Place, Wrong Time" (a Dr. John cover) to the slower, sweet sounding "It Ain't Nothin" and "Grace." Not to mention "One Big Drop of Water" which I'm not sure how to classify. Great album!!

another Screamin' Cheetah album....either you like 'em or you don't. Wish they were still around. would love to see 'em live.

Well here I am again giving my opinion to you on the Amazon review board and this time it's about The Screamin Cheetah Wheelies. First off . . . what a name, the first time I heard it announced on the local radio I was curious to hear what they sounded like and I was not disappointed. The first song I ever heard by these guy's was "Shakin the Blues" a fast, hot number that picks you up and body slams you to the dance floor. I mean if this one doesn't get the girls behinds wiggling not much else will. \

But let's talk about this album for a while. There are several great tracks on this album, "Boogie King" for instance is just one of those blues / rock songs that tells you just what these boys are about. "I am the boogie woogie King, yes, yes" just about says it all. Mike Farris has a great and unique voice, he is also very personal in the delivery of his lyrics. They tell stories about life and love and of course boggie woogie.

They also did a fantastic remake of Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time" It's a shame these guy's don't still make albums together. I did hear something about a new singer named Jarrod England but as to what they are doing now, I don't know. But if you like good blues based rock you can't go wrong with The Screamin Cheetah Wheelies.

Perfect condition ! Fast shipping ! I was very pleased with the whole transaction !

wonderfull,wonderfull record.One of the best record of the 90's. Perfect production and sound,beautifull lyrics.Swamp-boggie rock and roll style.If tou never listen this record, please take a few minutes to enjoy it.

Newcomers listen up! These guys are great. If you do not own any of SCW cd's..start with this one and work your way back. If you have been directed to this site due to recommended listening lists or whatever, roll your dice and gamble on this last CD. I did and went back and bought all the others.

SCW remind me a bit of Black Crowes, but more influenced by R&B than the straight forward rock of the BC. SCW tend to break into jams throughout thier songs, hence the not-so-friendly radio format, and lack of airplay. But that is the listening publics loss....at least you can make up your own mind on CD purchases. These guys are great. If anyone out there gets this cd, and listens to "grace", and does not agree that this one song alone is worth the purchase price...email me. And there is so much more here, great rockin tunes and jams. Do you here the Van Morrison references??? Get it and enjoy.

These guys never cease to amaze me. All three of thier albums are full of heart and talent.They give a whole spectrum of rockin' blues to listeners on this album. I was fortunate enough to see SCW live in Nashville on thier first two albums. These guys are the epitome of live entertainment.They put thier heart and souls into thier music, and it shows on this and the other two albums.

I've been a fan of SCW for a few years now. And I love all three of their albums. But this one is probably the best album for a new fan to start with. It has a little bit of everything for anybody. All-be-it the remake of Dr. John's classic Right Place Right Time, or the fully rocking southern style Boogie King, or my personal favorite One Big Drop of Water. Basically, fan or not a fan, this is a good album to just listen to.
