    Valoración: ESSENTIAL

This album is really fine, pure dynamite, with a high spirited, dynamic and powerful music Thirteen tracks ranging from songs coming from Gene Barge to Lowell Fulson, Roy Milton, Eddie Jones or Eddie Boyd among some other really good other names An amazing album with a cascade of sounds that follow the real tradition of Texas, West Coast, swing and jump blues, performed by an all stars band called The Knickerbocker All-Stars In fact the name comes from legendary Knickerbocker Cafe of Westerly in Rhode Island, where The Roomful Of Blues used to play every Sunday in the 70’s and the beginning of the 80’s Those shows attracted a large number of fabulous musicians who joined the party on incredible sessions that became very popular The drummer was Bob Christina, (whose brother Fran was also drummer of The Fabulous Thunderbirds) and it was Bob who managed to gather some of those incredible artists to form The Knickerbocker All-Stars Among the musicians involved in this unique attractive band you will find Curtis Salgado, Johnny Nicholas, Sugar Ray Norcia, Dave Maxwell, Al Copley, Rich Lataille and, of course, Fran and Bob Christina, together with many other blues monsters of the upper east coast blues An album that does not have any single bad note on it, a small masterpiece of the most genuine attractive music that delights and drives us crazy
