5.0 out of 5 stars Great undiscoverd blues, April 2, 2005

...by a great undiscoved talent. When I first met Mike he was playing great mandolin and flat top guitar in a bluegrass-folk band in Collegetown USA (Columbia, Mo). He went to Nashville to make his living doing the same in sessions and along the way wrote for everybody from the T-birds to Trisha to the silver screen. But he's at home on this album, and he's good enough Reese Wynans is doing some of his best work on the keyboards for him here. (Delbert McClinton does some background for him on another album.) If that's not enough, the liner notes on this one, that call Mike's slide work "stunning," the band "some men I wanted to play music with, and the album "the magic of a great blues man and a great band," are from no less an axeman than Mark Knopfler. Mike's not just a jack of all trades he's a master, covering classic blues with supberb electric, acoustic and slide guitar, harmonica and a voice for the blues better than most. Don't let the cowboy hat fool you, this is a bluesman. If you want to see how well he can write blues check out "Thicker Than Water." Oh yeah, his country ain't bad either.

4.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER SUPERB BLUES CD FROM HENDERSON, April 10, 2003

I first came upon THICKER THAN WATER and bought this not long after. Both these CD's are now among my favourite blues CD's
and I've introduced a great number of people to this band. For
good time rocking blues with great vocals and superb guitar work
you should not go past this band. Their sound is a bit like the STONES as it is a bit loose and 'DIRTY'. That is not a critisism
as it only adds to the overall flavour of this CD. Not much to fault here. GREAT ROCKING BLUES and not one bad track.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard Driving, Shack Shakin' Blues!, August 3, 2000

Mike Henderson and the talented members of the Bluebloods have produced a home-run blues CD! Henderson's guitar and harp work are stellar, and the songlist is solid top to bottom. Highly recommended. FYI: Don't miss the opportunity to see these guys live--they blow the roof off the dump!
