"Four and a half, actually, and docked a half star only because they don't keep the brilliance up for the entire album. But what a treat most of the cuts on this album are, replete with Ry Cooder's tastiest guitar licks and production. The band is funky and tight, and the singing is otherworldly.Treat yourself to this album. It reminds you just how good soul duet singing can be.Just in case you'd forgotten."

A very loud echo of Sam & Dave for the 90s.

"Having loved stax/atlantic soul in the 60s l heard about this album and before playing it for the first time l could still hear Sam & Dave live on stage, opposite in character but blending perfectly. Bobby King and Terry Evans were unknown to me and have to admit they have better voices yet perform very much in the spirit of the famous duo. From slow ballads to the funkiest music they truly groove having a mutual empathy with each other and with the benefit of modern production values this album is a gem. Miss it at your peril."

This is a must have!!!

"these songs will make you laugh, make you cry, and every emotion in between. If you ever want to share the blues with someone who has never listened to it this is a 'must' to recommend to them"
