Sometimes one wonders why an artist with the quality and experience of Earnest Roy has not published a new record for more than five years Roy is a great singer, a high quality guitarist, an excellent songwriter as well and this album is a good example of it Earnest knows the blues language like the palm of his hand, because he has lived the blues as he was born in Mississippi and his father performed with Ike Turner, Jackie Brenston, Wade Walton, John Lee Hooker and many others When he was only eight years old Earnest was already playing bass with The Clarksdale Rockers, which included Raymond Hill, CV Ville and Big Jack Johnson All this knowledge and experience of deep Delta blues gave Roy such solid good training that Albert King called him to join his group as bandleader, where he stayed until Albert passed away This album is a real gift to the ears of any fan with enough sensitivity and taste for pure but at the same time modern blues If anyone thinks that you will find archaic old-fashioned blues, you are completely wrong
