4.0 out of 5 stars PURE ROCK!, August 30, 2002

What happens when you pair Racer X/Mr. Big shed master Paul Gilbert with a classic rock/blues guitarist like Jimi Kidd, well you get "Raw Blues Power", with the emphasis on "Power". There are no subtleties here, no shyness, little restraint and no delta blues or otherwise. What you get is gigawatts of testosterone elevating solos by two extremely talented guitarists. These guys are not from the school of minimalists. If it doesn't contain 120 notes per second, it's not worth playing. This is not Eric Clapton and B.B. King or Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King. This is Godzilla meets Rodan. Call it what you might, just don't call it "blues". Sit down, strap a seatbelt on, crank it up and blast off.

If you like your BLUES traditional, you will hate this. These guys power through 10 BLUES / ROCK tracks like their life depended on it ( emphasis on ROCK ). Raucous and a whole lot of fun. These guys don't take themselves serious and create such an exuberant CD. I dare you to sit still through this one - it truely rocks. Both are good / great guitarists and obviously enjoy playing together. We know PAUL is great, but the surprise is KIDD who more than holds his own when they trade licks.
If you like the GUITAR - ELECTRIC BLUES - ROCK, you will like this. Crank it up and enjoy!!!

This is a fun blues album with good songs and good playing from Paul and his uncle Jimi Kidd. Every song is good in it's own way and it's good to see Paul branch outside of the metal/ shred world and try something different. I highly recommend this cd.
