    Valoración: VERY GOOD

Lightnin’ Willie is a very particular musician who calls the attention both for his stage presence and the way he approaches and performs the blues His sound is an irresistible blend of tradition and creative spontaneity, but he also puts a special emphasis in the groove, which makes him to immediately reach an outstanding expressiveness level This is why his live shows become a party where audiences cannot stop moving, dancing and interact with the band Lightnin’ Willie easily moves and plays guitar and, at the same time, he has a hoarse unmistakable voice, showing he is also a good composer All these qualities give to his music a peculiar hallmark that drives him towards a successful future full of happy musical moments Everything I have just mentioned can be found along the ten songs that round up this album, where Lightnin’ Willie is perfectly surrounded by a good bunch of musicians he knows well, like Pete Anderson on bass and harmonica, Michael Murphy and Doña Oxford (this last one on a song) on piano, Skip Edwards on Hammond B-3 and accordion, Jesper Kristensen and Jerry Olson on drums, Ron Dzubla on sax and finally Lucky Miller performing beautiful string arrangements in the song Thinking Of You
