Whatever "it" is, Mountain man Leslie West still has it. There's some seriously kickin guitar work here to go along with Leslie "sound of pure evil" vocals. I don't understand why he's not getting the same exposure as other supposed guitar heroes. Labels should be beating down his door and offering him the chance to rip it up in the studio every month without fail. Blues fans should be worshipping at the alter of the Great Not As Fatsby. Virgins should be dancing and the little children laughing and playing in the streets. This is the blues, baby!

I know nothing about RIFFs and all that musician stuff. I just like to hear guys jammin and having a good time. I don't care if it fades out and I don't care if they play only 3 chords. All I care is that it makes my foot stomp while I'm driving and makes me smile and bop my head a bit. This guy does that to me and also produces the absolute best, most intense, foot stompin and kick a$$ version of Boom Boom I've ever heard. Thanks Leslie - keep em coming!

The best blues I have heard from anyone in years, perhaps ever. If you like blues with an attitude, you will not be disappointed. Those humbuckers do crunch and so does Leslie's voice.
