For fans of real Texas blues this is as good as it gets! Long John Hunter is a legitimate legend and putting him in front of Stevie Ray's Double Trouble rhythm section was a great idea. Even better is the presence of his brother Tom "Blues Man" Hunter, a local legend in his own right on his East Texas home turf. Both are great singers and guitarists and each has a distinctive vocal and musical style. The title track (by Tom) is one of the best Texas blues songs in recent memory and all of Long John's songs are gems. Add a great horn section on some of the songs (and harmonica hero Gary Primich blowing up a storm) and it's quite simply the quintessential Texas blues album. Welcome back Long John!

Long John & brother Tom with Double Trouble what a treat! This is classic Long John, I don't think he knows how to make a bad album. A great Texas blues CD, great guitar and vocals from the brothers. Now if they would only re-release (Smooth Magic) we could enjoy even more Long John. The stuff I like the best are their shuffles, I just love blues shuffles, and John seems to be an expert at this form of blues.

awesome blues disc would be a great addition to any texas blues lovers collection, 4 out of 5 stars. hope to buy more of long john hunter!
