5.0 out of 5 stars Pure unadultered Blues!, June 9, 2001

Back to basics on this Willie King & The Liberators cd of no slick production just a band playing for themselves and their audience with passion! Original songs with a message add to their own uniqueness. This band was nominated for a well deserved WC Handy award for best new artist debut. A favorite at The Crazy Coyote Blues Power Show 1490 KOTY AM (1490koty.com) Yakima Nation Reservation Radio in southcentral Washington state.

This is an excellent CD! This music is different than most Blues music I've heard. Willie King and the Liberators make a rhythm and Jam on it ! Hard! Nothing fancy, just hardcore, funky, dance Juke Blues. That, coupled with the concious lyric content and unique vocal stylings, make this into an instant classic. This is not corporate. This is real. This is a real band, not session players. The recording is live. No over-dubs. Get this CD, and you just might start planning a road trip to Bettie's Place, down in Prarie Point, Mississippi!

As if the prodigy of Howlin Wolf & James Brown did a set in a little club in rural Alabama. I don't know where the Alligator, etc. labels have been, but this 60-something year old and his band cook up the realest blues commited to tape, CD or whatever. Also highly recommended is his I Am The Blues disc available only thru alabamablues.com
