5.0 out of 5 stars Another great party album from Lil' Ed!, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Get Wild (Audio CD)

Lil' Ed sings and plays with a fury and enthusiasm that is unmatched. The band provides a relentless driving groove for Ed to slither, slide, and work his magic. From start to finish this album grabs a hold of you, shakes you, and does not let you quit moving. The songs are great too. In them Lil Ed tells fun stories and some sad ones too. You can tell he lives the blues and it has always been important to him. One of the best albums I have heard in a long time. It might even be Lil Ed's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jammin' electric blues. A must-have., October 26, 1999

After listening to this CD in the store, I couldn't wait the 2-3 days to get it from Amazon. It is 100% good -- no bad tracks. Lil' Ed & company are as rockin' as they've ever been. If you like fast-paced electric blues with witty lyrics, put on your dancin' shoes and jam to this one.

It was a true relief to hear that Lil Ed was back with the Blues Imperials. After too long of a hiatus, he has rejoined with his former band mates and put together another stellar effort for Alligator records. He, more than any of his contemporaries, captures the feel of a live show on disc. Ed, Pookie & the gang put on a terrific jumping houseparty in the studio and show that they haven't lost a step. Nothing beats a live show but their discs never disappoint. Pocono Blues appearance a few years ago was best show I've ever seen... even Clarence Gatemouth Brown came out to catch their performance. Crowd was nearly as frantic and energized as Ed by the time he wrapped up the show. Must get this CD if you like the jumpin blues!
