5.0 out of 5 stars Grammy quality despite some synthetics (4.5 stars), June 7, 2007
I wish they would have included a sessionography on this package: can you believe Fats sounds every bit as good as he did *40* years ago. Much of this material surpasses alot of his ABC-Paramount stuff (and even some from Imperial!). Little Richard and Chuck Berry...come on down!!!
The title track is in the Ain't That Just Like A Woman vein, a medium rocker, with personalized lyrics. Naturally, the electronic support is not preferred over the organic Crescent City sound, but it's not over-mixed. A bright, humorous opener, and statement - yes, it's me, and I'm back in New Orleans, cruising down Rampart with Rosemary.
Don't let the lounger "rhythm-maker" intro. throw you on I'll Be Alright, it's a happy Zydeco romp, with echos of Rockin' Sydney.
There's a couple of remakes here, including the lesser-known early '50s R & B, Every Night About This Time, for Fats his third edition. His voice sounds as strong as on the first sequel from '58.
For Fats collectors, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't rank this 2007 release along with his best previous studio albums, This Is Fats Domino (ABC-Paramount) and Fats Is Back (Warner Bros.).
There's a great, loping, triplet-laden ballad here, I'm Gonna Love You Till The Day I Die, which should have been placed just before the closer. Somewhat reminiscent of his '63 album cut, Tell The Truth, Baby, if it doesn't bring a smile, I'll walk all the way to New Orleans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, he's still got it..., May 18, 2008
Musically, this record is incredible. There's a perfect subtle mix of modern elements like synth and slide guitar that give it an updated sound, but it still sounds like classic Fats. This ranks as high as anything he's ever done. Fats Domino is a living legend. This is the kind of record that makes you feel grateful to be alive.
