Mike Wheeler is a surprisingly intense singer and guitar player with an unbelievable feeling He passionately lives the music he plays As his musical speech goes on, he grows in content, layout and good sound He has an effective vibrant language, throwing out cascades of dazzling sounds with sweeping riffs, always leaving his guitar gushing out an intense music, as if it was a water torrent Mike Wheeler is now one of the most prolific talented bluesmen in Chicago It is also a competitive musician with many ideas and projects to do and this album really proves it Wheeler is backed by a first class group of musicians who sound powerful and display good instrumental skills Brian James on keyboards, Larry Williams on bass and drummer Cleo Cole, give the most appropriate support to make Mike Wheeler shine at a very high level You will also find young harmonica player Omar Coleman as special guest on three songs, a pleasant surprise coming from a harp blower gifted with great talent who has a promising future
