5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING, March 1, 2000

First off, the album has such a wonderful feel to it. Buy it! However, I had the fortunate experience of seeing him perform live, and it went far beyond any expectations I had beforehand. Penetrating, and deep improvs - takes you to a completely different state of mind. The three members are so skilled you forget the need for any other instrument beyond guitars and the bass. I have always been a big fan of percussion, but I would have to say that they carry so much weight with their playing, any addtional inclusion might disrupt the almost perfect chemistry they have working already. I would definitely recommend this album, and look foward to the follow up this spring.

5.0 out of 5 stars This SECOND CD should be in every blues' lovers collection., July 8, 1999

"Blue Eyed Monster", the first CD by Otis Taylor is a tasty introduction to this second work of art from by him. Not only are his voice and playing skills stellar, the lyrics "mean something" and celebrate the life of the Black person in American. Deserves to be more widely known.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thanks to pirate radio, August 8, 2005

I first heard this on a pirate station in Austin Tx. Thanks mystery station. Don't expect horns or Nashville production, the only strings are gut. This is true blues, from the heart. A must buy.
