All songs singer and guitar player Col Ray and his band The Scary Cats give us on this cd are connected with the rural blues tradition Their performing is simple and restrained, without musical fireworks and effects, and very hypnotic, because Col Ray plays slide on a very lazy dragged way, building up guitar phrasings on a quite personal way, that gives main importance to ‘stacattos’ he seems to be very fond of Col Ray & The Scary Cats are a real alternative to the most conventional rock blues bands we are used to listen to They have reached a high credibility level, especially if we take into account, they come from Australia and they really know to make people enjoy with their original combination of acoustic and electric blues, performing different instruments like washboard, dobro, drums and harp Actual blues needs such bands like Col Ray Price & The Scary Cats to preserve the history of this singular honest sensitive kind of music
