5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Get Much Better!, April 11, 2001

Colin James is somewhat of a chameleon. He has released everything from swing-blues to pop to R&B.

On this CD, James, in my opinion, is at his best. He is joined for this all acoustic session by his friend and fellow canadian, Colin Linden ("Through the Storm" and "Raised By Wolves").

The song selections are good, mixing some originals with the tunes of Yank Rachell, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson and even soul man Sam Cooke. Together, both Colins' guitar playing is excellent and their vocals harmonize and blend well.

To date, this is my favorite Colin James CD. If you are looking for some good acoustic playing, this CD should meet your needs.

I've listended to this cd every day for about a month now and just keeps getting better. Quite a bit toned down from his big band and blues-rock recordings but the music is great and the import price is worth every penny.

This is by far the best CD Colin has produced. Combining outstanding lyrics, and wonderful blues guitar puts Colin on par with the best of the blues players today. This is a CD which should be in every serious blues lover's collection. Thank you Colin and his band.
