Keep on keepin'on. This CD is the real deal from start to finish.They are even better in person. I last saw them live in 97'at a gig for the local Blues Society of San Luis Obispo,Ca.They blew the roof clean off that night.The original...I mean the original Joliet Jake Blues aka.T-Bird Huck(Creeping under my Skin) was doing the vocals and guitar work that night.That would have been a great CD, as this one is. I only hope thier next release is very soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something you should know about the R&B Kings:, December 15, 2007

For years the R&B Kings have been produced & assisted on recordings by tenor sax/vocalist/songwriter Gene "Daddy G" Barge. He is one of the all-time greats, (the famed "Daddy G" was referred to on/wrote the music for/ and soloed on US Bond's "Quarter to Three", was mentioned on Steely Dan's "My Old School", and was the sax man on 100s of other great R&B tunes). Gene is now playing & singing on all of the band's live dates. You've got to hear them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Biggest Sound in Chicago Blues, December 19, 1999

Finally, another great CD from the biggest sounding band in Chicago. Terry Ogolini and Don Tenuto are a big sound by themselves but add the smooth sax of Daddy Gene Barge and they will blow your hair back. Deep resonant vocals from Ernie Peniston, searing rips from lead guitarist Dave Mick, and the drums of Willie Hayes and bass line from Bob Halaj all make for a tight clean Chicago sound. If you think these guys sound good here you should hear them live. These boys take the blues seriously.
