I haven't heard any other albums by them, but this one is smoking. You get 7 minutes of blues healing with upbeat harp and guitar jams in "I Don't Want You To Be My Girl," and another 7 minutes in "Hush, Hush," hee hee hee. Not that "Leavin'" should be overlooked because it is only 3 minutes long - that song smokes too. Yep, this is a good CD to help forget some woman. The CD ends with the best version of "Got My Mojo Working" that I have ever heard.

A great live album by a fun and talented band, luckily brought back together and recorded. Jim Schwall and Corky Seigel front a talented and honest band that puts out down home music the way it's supposed to be played.

I was surprised to find that outside of the midwest, a lot of folks have never heard of Corky Siegel (of the Siegel-Schwall Blues Band). That's a crime. Corky's one of the truly great masters of the blues harmonica.

On this album, you'll hear him in a traditional blues context - where he excels - but if you really want to be blown away, check out his work on 'Street Music' with William Russo. Here's the link to the CD: Russo: Street Music; Gershwin: An American in Paris and it's available from Amazon as an MP3 download as well. Check out Corky's playing on "Three Pieces for Blues Band & Symphony Orchestra".

For those of you who listened to the Siegal-Schwall band and those that haven't, this is the ultimate CD . It contains not only my favorite tunes ,but also some hot versions. Great harp work by Corky Siegal on "Hey,Billie Jean" and "Hush,Hush" .Hush, Hush also features the whole band doing solos in the 7:00 version . All blues fans- GET THIS CD !

this album combines very talented musicians with the energy of a live performance. fun band to listen to. drinking, getting over women, trying to love women, nothing but the blues.
