Honeyboy is like scotch, it takes awhile to get use to the unique taste but once you do it is worth the effort! This effort is as good as any he has recorded. He guitar work is at its best, fluid when it needs to be and able to attack when required. The tone and timber of his voice is pure delta and city street blues. Honeyboy's claim to fame is usually that he knew Robert Johnson. He needs no claim to fame other than his own work.
