5.0 out of 5 stars BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN, March 31, 2001

Because there are 6 different singers at first "Kid Ramos" sounded like a blues compilation. But after a second listen you appreciate the west coast dream team with the likes of Willie Chambers,Lynwood Slim and others. This is my favorite "Kid" cd because it has him playing superbly on a variety of blues guitar styles including slow stuff like "Helsinki Laundromat Blues" with James Harman on vocals and uptempo instrumental songs like "Bandstand Boogie". Thanks Kid Ramos for showing the world we have great blues, here on the left coast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saw him with the T-Birds, bought the CD, July 31, 2000

I was in NYC over the weekend and caught the Fabulous Thunderbirds at BB King's blues club in Times Square. (A GREAT venue, BTW!) Kid Ramos was devastatingly good! He blew the crowd away. (Of course, Kim Wilson was no slouch either!). The next day, I went to one of the mega stores and bought this CD, and it really does him justice. An excellent variety of styles by an unsung virtuoso of the blues/rock guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Austin Blues, March 28, 2000

This review is from: Kid Ramos (Audio CD)

I've dug Kid Ramos as part of the Fab T-birds now for some time. I didn't know what to expect from his solo effort but I'm really impressed. He has assembled not only a great group of 'guest' musicians but also a great bunch of songs. Janiva Magness has that real Austin female singer sound. Kim is fabulous (what's new). Cesar Rojos is a must hear on 300 pounds. My recommendations "Just order this CD and enjoy the heck out of it."
