Perfect album to recharge one’s batteries, with terrific effective doses of Chicago and Texas blues, given by two amazing musicians, such as singer and guitarist Chris James and bass player Patrick Rynn who, together with a bunch of first class musicians, give us a juicy delightful repertoire. The band has included their own material, but they also bring back and revive with passion and skill original songs of Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed and Robert Lockwood Jr., with an impressing dazzling final result. Both musicians are backed by the ‘piano killers’ David Maxwell and legendary Henry Gray, drummers Sam Lay, Eddie Kobek and Willie Haye, harmonics players Rob Stone and Bob Corritore, sax players Jonny Viau and Allen Ortiz and finally Jeff Stone as backing guitar supporting Chris in two songs “H.M. Stomp” and “Can’t Stand To See You Go”. High quality deep blues but, above all, fulfilled with energetic overflowing swing, that will make shake your home foundations when you listen to it.
