"If you are looking for a gritty, bluesy Rock N' Roll album with a touch of honky tonk then you have found it. More electric and driving than his earlier stuff such as Big Mama's Door, this album will have you dancing at home or pushing your car past the speed limit. Highlights for me included the psychedelic "In my Time of Dying", featuring a searing solo by Audley Freed of Cry of Love and Black Crowes fame, hard riffy rocking "Motivational Speaker", rootsy rocker "My World is Round", and "Shoot me a Grin", which is Alvin in his element!! I was also pleasantly surprised at the country honk song "Meanest Jukebox in Town" which seems to almost take you back in time. The album closes with a nice ambient electric instrumental jam, which is very appropriate. If these kind of tunes are up your alley then you will definitely dig this album, which I think is among his best work!!!"

Like Kryptonite!

"It's like Kryptonite to the Blues Police and the Lemon Suckers. AYH is his own man. 70's style blues rock riffage without the cliches, tone for days, classic country played like a maestro and serious slide like nobody's business.



His best to date and a breath of fresh air. Inspiring."
