Steve Gilbert is well known as an excellent composer and lyricist Now he has locked himself again in a recording studio to give us this magnificent enlightening album that becomes pure dynamite as it is full of raw energetic blues On the other hand, the song lyrics will not leave anyone indifferent, you may like or dislike them but I am sure you will catch their meaning and purpose Only as an example here is the first phrase of the song that gives title to the album: I’m a rolling-down the Hempstead Highway, it’s the only thing I want to do, if I keep on a rolling I just might forget about you or as he says in another one: I wish I had a shotgun I’d blow you straight to hell or one more that says: If the problems were money, God! I swear I’d be a millionaire With lyrics like these and music where blues and Americans combine in equal parts, the result cannot be other than dusty dirty road blues
