5.0 out of 5 stars 2008's Best New CD!, October 13, 2008

As a Ed Head of over 20 years and having seen these guys over 100 times I can honestly say this is the greatest release ever from a band whose previous work has already garnered numerous awards. The best thing about these guys is the energy and pacing of their live shows, it is captured in this release.

It kicks off with "Hold That Train" loaded with Ed's signature greasy Chicago slide and impassioned vocals. The Blues Imperials are as usual tight and crisp. This is just sheer joy, real deal Chicago Blues. No one plays this type of passionate Chicago Slide anymore,I will guarantee this will be nominated for a BMA for best album. Other great tracks include "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" with some piano mixed in for good measure and a racous cover of Houndog Taylor's "Take 5". There's also burning slow blues like "Check My baby's Oil" and "Life Got in the Way". They even cover Smokey Robinson's 'First I Look at the Purse". If you want to have some fun, have a few drinks, shake your booty a bit, you do not want to miss this release. Good stuff from start to finish.

This could possibly be Lil Ed & The Blues Imperials' best album yet! I am a huge fan of theirs and listen to them a lot. I have never been disappointed with any of their albums and this one is no exception. From the first track through the last, you'll be rockin'! There is not a bad song on it. Full Tilt is the perfect title for this! These guys have been together for years and it shows. They are TIGHT! Buy this CD and see live if you get the chance. You won't be sorry.

This is straight up rock and roll with 3 chord blues. Be ready to play your air guitar or put on your dancing shoes because you aren't sitting through THIS CD. The title, "Full Tilt" is no misnamed moniker.
