Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A Chicago blues classic...his raw amplified harmonica work recalls past masters like Little Walter and Walter Horton, while his slide guitar style is descended from the style of Elmore James and Hound Dog Taylor. - The Chicago Tribune "The music has a lot more class than this tough guy packaging might lead you to suspect. Definitely worth hearing." - Blues & Rhythm

4.0 out of 5 stars contemporary bluesman, December 31, 2003

By	Aaron Manka (arlington, va USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Studebaker John is an interesting, entertaining musician. He writes, sing, and plays (harmonica and slide guitar) original songs, but with a style that is obviously influenced by the Chicago blues. When friends want an introduction to contemporary blues, I have them listen to Too Tough; it has never disappointed. I recommend checking out Too Tough over the later releases because I think the overall consistency of songs is higher on this album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good R&B blues, February 17, 2000

By	Bob Davis (Christchurch New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This was the first major release for Studebaker John on Blind Pig. You will do better to check out his subsequent releases.

This is a reasonable good album if you like good old R&B blues. The highlights of the offering are when he plays both harp and guitar. The best tracks are 'Someboby forgot to tell my heart' and 'Boogie walk'. He offers a clean uncomplicated style and seems to suffer from under-exposure. His subsequent albums provide many more highlights.
