A fantastic blend of rock, blues, country, and classical elements makes this one of my favorite albums ever. The band is reminiscent of some of the best classic rock groups, yet they have a new and exciting sound all their own. If you're a fan of classic rock, this album would be a great addition to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars It rocks, =and= it has catchy tunes and intelligent lyrics!, September 22, 1999

Six folks playing fiddles, guitars, mandolins, as well as bass, drums, and percussion, would make you think this is a country album. Part right. The title would make you think this is a blues album. Also part right. But you'd be missing some of the kickin'-est rock and roll and some surprising touches too. Check out "Blind Man" -- it rocks. The title cut is exhuberant. "How Can I Be Old (When Your Make Me Feel This Young)" revels in long-term lust and has a catchy hook. Alexandra Honigsberg adds a classy touch all around with her violin and viola playing, especially on "You're Still Mine," which is a sort of scary song -- don't be fooled by the classical guitar playing at the beginning. There doesn't seem to be a bad song on this CD, and the DQYDJPlayers have an ear for a clean, polished sound. David Honigsberg's guitar playing seems out of the Clapton mold, but with his own "voice." Steven Rosenhaus' work on guitar and mandolin may not be pyrotechnical, but it always seems to be the right thing -- a neat trick. Bassist Rik Cleary's playing is good, sometimes a little too flashy, but hey. Keith DeCandido adds lots of nice touches on a variety of percussion, and Tom Laubenthal has energy to spare and the musical sensitivity to hold it back when necessary.
