Wonderful! - By: alextorres, 22 Dec 2007 
This, my introduction to Otis Taylor, is a gorgeous, varied electric blues album.
Whilst the dominant feature of the soundscape is some superb, bluesy guitar playing, the variety of Otis's instrumentation & arrangements is such as to keep you hooked into this album from the first song until the very end. Piano, organ, strings, brass as well as other instruments are used to create the layer of sound on which Otis lays down a gorgeous blues beat. The addition of a female vocalist on a couple of the songs adds to the mystique of this wonderful album.
Extremely enjoyable! I will now be chasing down his back catalogue!
10 Stars - By: J. Stewart, 09 Jul 2007 I bought the album & the first track floored me with it's driving rythm but laid back style. Gary Moore adds very tasteful lead guitar throughout but doesn't dominate. Otis Taylor's voice is a perfect match for the music, gravelly & genuine. you could buy the CD just for this song!
The rest of the album doesn't disappoint & is refreshingly unique. The music is often driving trance blues, but instruments like piano, cornet, mandolin etc are subtle & never over-done.
All in alll, this is a unique & unusual album. An album that will draw you in & you find yourself listening to it over & over. Absolutely fantasic!
(By the way, if you like this you should also try Michael Powers)
