Ramos does what he does best and gets other guys do to what they do best; this is what leading bands and producing cds is all about.

I've been a big James Harman fan for a long time. I used to see him with guitarist Kid Ramos in smokey clubs in LA with 50 people or so. Great shows. I bought this because I was interested in what Kid Ramos could do on his own. Well, I still don't really know. His guitar work is sort of lost on this disc He only wrote one of the songs and quite frankly he is mearly a backup guitarist to a pretty amazing showcase of great blues front-men/harp players. When the guitar does kick in it's fine but nothing special, just standard blues riffs.

On this CD, Ramos continues the trend set on his last two releases, "Kid Ramos" and "West Coast House Party" by inviting several guest performers. However, unlike either of the other releases, Ramos has eliminated the keyboards as well as the horn section and has invited only harp players to the party opting to handle all guitar duties himself.

Accompanying Ramos are Paul deLay, Johnny Dyer, Rick Estrin, James Harman, Charlie Musselwhite, Rod Piazza and Lynwood Slim. The result is an excellent stripped down performance, which recalls early Chicago blues in the style of Jimmy Roger, early Muddy Waters or Mojo Buford, and yet still retains the flavor of each performers unique style. Overall this is a very good CD and all songs, with the possible exception of the rockabilly number "Hold Me Tenderly", mesh well together. If you like harps and down home blues, check this out.
