I listened to a couple of the teasers on Amazon and decided to take a chance on the CD. Turned out to be a super move. I just love this CD, and I haven't got tired listening to it almost daily for the last couple of months. My kids even rock out to this CD. The CD features first rate, gutsy vocals, funky rhythms and really tasty solo work on the harmonica and the guitar. The tunes are well written and well crafted. Junkyardman is a catchy, funky blues tune. Skip to #3, and you get the bouncy Full Moon Tonight--a song that will make you want to get out of your seat and boogie. It uses a one note harp saw riff to set the rhythm for the song, and it is hard to get it out of your head. Change has more of a rock feel to it. It bites out with crunching Wah-Wah guitar riffs with some great breaks that really give the song some zip. And then Jammin' in the Jungle is just a great old time bluesy R&B tune. The harp rips out some great riffs and the throaty vocals make you want to get up out of your seat. I have got to say this is one of my favorite blues CDs right now. It is just a really fun listen that doesn't get boring. Buy it. You're gonna dig it for sure.

I saw the Junkyardmen at the Beale street music fest and they almost stole the show.Three great singers, awesome harmonica player,and the rest of the band is as good as you could get.One of the best things about this band is the pure energy they have for the music,live as well ason the cd.This cd is strongly recommended!!!!!!!! Buy it, turn it up and sit back and enjoy some great music!!!!!!!

Junkyardmen is one ofthe best cds in alongtime. I journed from rochester, ny to Memphis, Tennesse for the Beale St. musicfest. I was lucky enough to see them start the 3 day show, and probably one of the best acts there.As good as bernard Allison, Jonny Lang Etc. Just down home blues with a real rocking band that seem to realy enjoy what they were doing

Good group of hometown Memphis boys carrying on the legacy with the likes of Mose Vinson.
