5.0 out of 5 stars An album for blues-guitar afficianados and guitar players..., July 6, 2000

If you love long, continually-vibrant, energetic guitar solos, then this album is for you. I play guitar, and Johnny's playing never ceases to render me slack-jawed! This album has it all---slow tempo blues (with piercing, snaking, rapid-fire soloing), fast tempo boogie-woogie (with piercing, wonderfully-driving soloing), medium-tempo shuffles (more soloing, of course), and more. Check out the title song at the end--its kind of a bluegrass/blues, finger-picking masterpiece (on electric, of course)--so driving, frantic, and utterly energizing! I have all of Johhny's CD's, and this one is definitely among his best (along with "3rd degree" and "Let Me In".

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work; Re-master Badly Needed, November 10, 2005

This CD is unreal. The song selection is excellent and Johnny's guitar playing is the hottest of his post Columbia career. This CD is in BAD need of a remaster. It is listenable and I recommend purchasing. In fact, this is the one CD in my collection that the material is so good it far outways the sound quality. Turn down the treble and crank it up, it's EXCELLENT.

This review is from: Serious Business (Audio CD)

this album would be 5 stars but the tinny tone from his guitar distracts from some of the excellent guitar solos, but beside that this album is excellent, great choice of material and johnny really rips it up on guitar. it the most energized i have heard him since his rick derringer days.
